Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Sept. 25 photo, “Reader sent this week’s tough photo to ID,” shows a building that’s just a few yards from the Yemassee train station where hundreds of thousands of recruits met Marine Corps drill sergeants before heading to basic training at Parris Island. The photo, sent by Florence reader Barry Wingard, shows the building in disrepair, although it apparently is being used as a church today.
This was a tough one, so congratulations to these two eagle eyes for identifying the photo: Bill Segars of Hartsville; and George Graf of Palmyra, Va. Graf shared that the “building was built in 1912 and served as a general merchandise store and also served as a receiving station for U.S. Marine recruits.”
