Our previous Mystery Photo

Our most recent past mystery, “Tough photo” proved to be tough to all but two veteran readers — George Graf of Palmyra, Va., and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas. The photo, sent in by Bill Segars of Hartsville, shows a little-seen view of the Chicora Wood Plantation rice shipping house along the shore of the Great Pee Dee River in the Plantersville area of Georgetown County.

Peel shared that the building was part of a rice plantation established by John Allston in the mid-1730s. “The structure shown in the mystery photo is a storage facility on the banks of the river where rice would be prepared and stored for eventual transportation along the river.”

Send us a mystery:  If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!)   Send it along to  editor@charlestoncurrents.com.
