Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Oct. 26 photo, “Golden dome,” wasn’t in South Carolina, as a few readers guessed. The photo showed the golden dome of the Savannah City Hall that overlooks the Savannah River.
H/T to these intrepid sleuths for identifying the photo: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Stephen Yetman and Jim McMahon, both of Charleston; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.; and Jacie Godfrey of Florence.
Godfrey shared that the city hall, built in the early 1900s, replaced “the original 1799 building. It is considered a spectacular architectural masterpiece. The domed roof rises 70 feet and originally was made of copper, but was gilded in 1987 with sheets of 23-karat gold leaf. It is home to the mayor’s office, council chambers and the Hall of Mayors containing photographs and paintings of past mayors since 1790.”
