MYSTERY PHOTO: Water tower

So here’s a scene in South Carolina that may look familiar.  Does it to you?  Where is it? Send your best guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our last Mystery Photo, “Tranquil scene,” was a photo taken by Sitka, Alaska, resident Thomas Jacobsen in Poinsett State Park in Sumter County.  Several alert sleuths guessed it, including Jay Altman of Columbia; Montez Martin and Kristina Wheeler, both of Charleston; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas.

Martin shared a Wikipedia summary of the park: “Sumter County donated 1,000 acres for the park, which opened to the public in 1936. Many buildings still in use at the park were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps from locally quarried coquina rock. Coquina is a young limestone in which fossil seashells are still readily apparent. Poinsett State Park was the first of many parks built by the CCC in South Carolina. During the days of racial segregation, the nearby state park for blacks was Mill Creek Group Camp. The park was closed in 1963 for a year, along with all of South Carolina’s state parks, due to a Federal court order to desegregate the parks, and it wasn’t until 1966 that all its facilities were reopened. The park’s historical elements were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.”
