Our previous Mystery Photo
Our June 29 mystery pictured a classic building with a great presence. Where was it? If you guessed Johnson Hall Theatre at Winthrop University, you were correct!
Congratulations to those who correctly identified the 1920 building designed along classic lines:
Winthrop graduate Ashley Aldebol of Irmo; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Lexie Chatham of West Columbia. Graf provide a bit more context:
“According to winthrop.edu, Johnson Hall, named for founding president David Bancroft Johnson, was constructed with funds from oil magnate and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, the YWCA, and the state legislature. Built in the Classical Revival style, it originally housed offices for students, the YWCA, and literary societies. The building was renovated and expanded in 1993 and remains one of the premier performance facilities in the South.”
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 to: feedback@statehousereport.com and mark it as a photo submission. Thanks.
We Can Do Better, South Carolina!
