MYSTERY: You might have seen this before

Long-time readers of Charleston Currents might have seen this structure, which was featured a few years back.  But it might not be familiar to many.  Hint:  It’s in the tri-county area.  Know where it is?  Send your guess — and place of residence — to editor@charlestoncurrents.com.  (Thanks to Deborah Getter of Johns Island for furnishing this great new shot.)

We had a bunch of guesses about the Mystery Photo from last week, several of whom thought it might be ruins of Old Sheldon Church in rural Beaufort County.  Nope.  It was an old chapel of ease on St. Helena Island near the Penn Center.  Dr. B.J. Scott of Charleston, who won a pair of tickets to Magnolia Gardens for the correct answer, wrote the tabby structure as built prior to the Civil War by plantation owners as a church because of the distance to Beaufort.  After a fire in 1886, it wasn’t rebuilt.

Others who correctly identified the church were:  Chris Brooks, Lori Glenn and Laura Morris, all of Mount Pleasant; Susan Breslin of Folly Beach; Susan Fulmer and Mary Greene, both of Columbia; Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.; and Kristina Wheeler of Charleston.

A big check to help the homeless

Blackbaud President and CEO Michael Gianoni, center, presented a $20,000.00 check to One80 Place CEO Stacey Denaux, who is wearing an orange vest and surrounded by Blackbaud employees.  The downtown homeless shelter raised more than $40,000 in total through its “Turkey & a $20” donation drive on Nov. 24. The company also celebrated reaching $300,000 in contributions to One80 Place, according to a press release.  Photo provided.
