MYSTERY PHOTO: Classic Southern mansion

Here’s an outstanding Lowcountry example of a Greek Revival home.  But 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.

Based on the results of our last Mystery Photo, “Another bridge,” either the picture was easy or there are lots of readers who are bored at home who decided to guess for the first time — or both!  Congratulations to all who correctly identified the bridge as the General William C. Westmoreland Bridge on Interstate 626 over the Ashley River that connects West Ashley and North Charleston.

Kudos to these sleuths:  Wyatt Harris and Christopher Glover, both of West Ashley; Jay Altman of Columbia; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Berry Davenport and Teddy Dovell, both of James Island; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Jen Kibler of Johns Island; Kameron Clay and Stephen Yetman, both of Charleston; Grace Muldrow of Mount Pleasant; Tricia Edwards and Josh Shirley, both of Summerville; and Chris Burke, George Thornton and Amanda Hicks. (Please add your hometown next time to the guess.)  Thanks to all of the others who guessed.

Peel shared: “Often referred to as simply the ‘Westmoreland Bridge,’ it is composed of two, 40-foot wide spans, sufficient for two lanes of traffic in each direction. At 3,907-feet long, and a maximum clearance of 35-feet above the water, the bridge was completed in 1980. The highway was named for General William C. Westmoreland, a South Carolina native and graduate of West Point.

“Born in  Spartanburg County, South Carolina, Westmoreland had a long and successful military career, serving as a colonel in the infantry during World War II, a brigadier general during the Korean War, a commander during the Vietnam War, and eventually serving as the chief of staff of the United States Army for Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon from 1968 to 1972.”
