Here’s a building that is, how should we put it, “highly decorated.” Where is it? Bonus: Why? Send your best guess to feedback@statehousereport.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.
Our previous Mystery Photo
Our April 17 image, “Happy bronze,” is a statue of Joel Poinsett that is located along Main Street in downtown Greenville. A former U.S. minister to Mexico under President James Monroe, he introduced the poinsettia plant from that region into the United States.
Congratulations to the many sleuths who correctly identified the sculpture: Craig Jacobs of Spartanburg; Craig White of Greenwood; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Philip Cromer of Beaufort; Daniel Brennan, Mary Greene and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; Dale Rhodes of Richmond, Va.; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; Joe Waters of Blowing Rock, N.C.; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Bill Segars and Don Clark, both of Hartsville; Steve Willis of Lancaster; Kevin Mertens and Emily Moss, both of Greenville; Taft Matney of Mauldin; and Barry Wingard of Florence.
More about Poinsett is in today’s S.C. Encyclopedia.
- 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!
