Our previous Mystery Photo
Our July 31, “Did it move?” shows the Darby building in the Old Village part of Mount Pleasant. The question we asked was a twist … because the building didn’t move, but the county did. The building originally was the Berkeley County Courthouse, but Berkeley County moved its county seat from Mount Pleasant to Moncks Corner more than 100 years ago.
“Mount Pleasant moved from Charleston County to Berkeley County in 1882, and this building was the county courthouse until the Berkeley county seat moved from Mount Pleasant to Moncks Corner in 1895,” Jay Altman of Columbia writes. “Mount Pleasant then moved back into Charleston County. This building has been a courthouse, seminary, newspaper office, church and town hall. In 1991, it was named the Darby Building, for former Mount Pleasant Mayor G. Magrath Darby, Jr. Today it is the Parks and Facilities building for the Town of Mount Pleasant.”
Congrats to the other readers who correctly identified the building: Bill Segars and Don Clark, both of Hartsville; David Sweatt of Greenville; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Jacie Godfrey of Florence; and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
