Too many times, we don’t look up and see amazing things like this skylight. But where is it? Send your best guess to: editor@charlestoncurrents.com — and make sure to include the name of the town in which you live. Please also write “Mystery Photo” in the subject line.
So last week’s mystery, at right, was another South Carolina downtown … but which? This photo vexed several readers, but some sleuths guessed Holly Hill … and they were right!
Congratulations to: Bud Ferillo and Denise Lyons, both of Columbia; Matt Brady of North Charleston; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Stephen Yetman of Charleston.
Graf provided some extra information about the town: “According to thetandd.com, the railroad defined the location of the town’s business section, and it was responsible for the town’s growth and official founding in 1887. Today, the beautifully restored depot serves as the eastern Orangeburg County office of the Tri-County Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Holly Hill Visitor and Information Center, a mini-museum and as the community center.
“Referred to by some as the ‘biggest little town in South Carolina,’ Holly Hill was built around a grove of holly trees. The last trees from the grove, estimated to be about 98 years old, were removed in 1957.”
Send us a mystery: If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!) Send it along to editor@charlestoncurrents.com
