MYSTERY PHOTO:  Might not be what you expect

This photo, with its classical features, might not be what you expect.  Hint:  It’s in South Carolina.  Send your best guess to:  editor@charlestoncurrents.com – and please make sure to include your name and hometown.  In the subject line, write:  “Mystery Photo guess.”

Last week’s mystery looked like a modern version of the skylight at the Gibbes Museum.  It is on display every year to millions of passengers who get on and off planes at the Charleston International Airport.

Hats off to those who guessed correctly:  Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Charles Boyd of Hanahan; Bill Segars of Hartsville; and Charlie Morrison of James Island.

Graf sent this info, according to architectsandartisans.com:  Designer Curt Fentress “recently re-imagined a little 1980s airport – transforming it from so-so to spectacular – and giving it a new lease on life.  It had an area in the middle of the building, a meet-and-greet area with a set of skylights, he says. “We took it out and replaced with a dome and a clerestory.  Where walls once blocked views from curbside to ticket counters, he opened up vistas for a sense of place. The curbside area had tile that were like cinderblock size and blocked views from the street into building.
