Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Dec. 21 photo, “Good tidings,” was a photo by Leigh Webber that Charleston’s David Rawle sent along to show the holiday spirit at Theodora Park, a pocket park in Charleston at the corner of Anson and George streets. In addition to laser lights on park pathways, words of inspiration and hope were projected on the park’s walls and trees.
Hats off to the few sleuths who correctly identified the photo: Jim McMahan of Charleston; Margaret Grant of West Ashley; Liz Rennie of North Charleston; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas.
Graf added, “Theodora Park was David Rawle’s vision. Every detail of this lovely space has benefited from his caring and gifted guidance. Theodora Park has been created through the collaboration of outstanding designers and artists, the City of Charleston, Charleston Parks Conservancy, and the truly generous support of many individuals, including the family of Theodora C. Rawle, whom the park so appropriately honors.”
Peel added the park’s design was inspired by New York’s Paley Park, but “to add some local flair to the park, it includes a wrought-iron gate designed and made by Charleston artisan and blacksmith Philip Simmons.”
