MYSTERY:  Maybe this one will be easier

MYSTERY:  Maybe this one will be easier

Whew.  The last mystery was so tough that only two people even guessed.  So maybe this one will be easier. Send your guess to:  editor@charlestoncurrents.com.  And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Only the super photo sleuth, George Graf of Palmyra, Va., had the stick-to-it dedication to identify last week’s mystery as the new Baxter Patrick James Island Public Library currently under construction.

MYSTERY PHOTO:  Looks like something under construction

This is obviously a construction site.  Hint: It’s in South Carolina. But where … and what is it?  Send your guess to:  editor@charlestoncurrents.com.  And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Our Dec. 31 mystery, “Is it a castle?” should have been easy for people who walk around old Charleston.  It wasn’t a castle, but a close-up photo of the Circular Congregational Church at 150 Meeting Street.

MYSTERY:  A Lowcountry building decked out for the holidays

This week’s mystery comes to us from a loyal reader who said the building almost screams Christmas – even without the wreathes on the front of the building.  Hint: It’s in the greater Lowcountry area and we expect it might be a tough one.  Send your guess to:  editor@charlestoncurrents.com.  And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Our Dec. 10 mystery, “Clues in photo might give away where it is,” had enough clues to get a lot of correct guesses from alert readers.  They knew the photo showed the Charleston Maritime Center along the bank of the Cooper River near the S.C. Aquarium.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Our Nov. 26 mystery, “Who painted this?” may have looked like a watercolor by Alice Huger Smith to some, but actually was part of a 1920 oil painting of Magnolia Gardens by Charleston Renaissance artist Alfred Hutty.
