Here’s a South Carolina house with an interesting background. Where is it and what’s the history? Send your guess to feedback@statehousereport.com — and remember to include your name, home city and contact information.
Last week’s mystery, “Brick and glass building” by Charleston photographer Ashley Rose Stanol, shows a courtyard and the Stern Student Center at the College of Charleston.
Congratulations to those who identified it: Wayne Beam of Clemson; Elizabeth Jones and Jay Altman of Columbia; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas. Jacie Godfrey of Florence got the general location correct.
Peel shared, “The building was built in 1974 and was named after Theodore Sanders Stern (1912-2013), who served as the college’s 16th president from 1968 to 1974. The garden depicted in the mystery photo is in a courtyard behind the building, and it is a favorite escape for students who want some quiet studying time or wish to eat their lunch in peace. Because of its peaceful setting, some classes have been known to meet here as well.”
