MYSTERY: Where’s this building?

This mystery photo should be pretty easy to folks in Charleston, but who knows — it might be a stumper. Send your guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com — and make sure to include the town in which you live. If you’ve got a story about the building, send that along too.

Several people correctly identified the photo from reader Deborah Getter in our most recent issue as the remnants of a bridge to Sullivan’s Island from Mount Pleasant. According to a historical sign at the location, Cove Inlet, “Before the Revolutionary War, a plank bridge built on barrels was constructed across the inlet separating Mount Pleasant from Sullivan’s Island. In 1864, the H.L. Hunley crew crossed the footbridge on the way to Breach Inlet to test dive the submarine. A trolley bridge spanned the cove in 1898 and was replaced by a vehicle bridge in 1927 known as Pitt Street Bridge.”

Veteran Mystery Photo sleuth Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant, who admits he was completely stumped by the previous issue’s mystery of the gate at Bethel United Methodist Church in Charleston, was first to identify the bridge photo and its significance. Others who got it right were Jane Riley, John Bleecker, Joe Mendelsohn and Bruce Jayne, both of Charleston;   Artist Karen Burnett Garner of Dacula, Ga., writes that the bridge is a great place to watch the sunset. Sullivan’s Island resident Carlos Herbas added, “You can barely see Stella Maris, a Catholic church, steeple on the right of the picture. The picture was taken right at the inlet. The rest of the bridge is a park called Picket Park, after former Sullivan’s Island resident Dr. Otis Picket.
