This week’s mystery sent in by a reader is a yellow building with six columns. Where is it? What is it? Send your guess to feedback@statehousereport.com — and remember to include your name, home city and contact information.
Last week’s mystery, “Great-looking garden,” is of the Janie Earle Furman Rose Garden at Furman University in Greenville.
Congratulations to several readers who identified it: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Penny Forrester of Tallahassee, Fla.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; and Elizabeth Jones and Jay Altman, both of Columbia;
Graf shared that “the beautiful rose garden we see today started out as an expanse of dirt back in the 1950s not long after the current campus of Furman University opened. Over time, a set of brick stairs was built, and finally the garden was landscaped in the familiar pattern we know today.”
Peel added: “Created in 1961, this garden features over 800 rose bushes and a 19th century gazebo and fountain. It’s a photographer’s dream spot, and is a favored venue for many weddings and other special events in and around Greenville, S.C.”
Altman also shared this link as a place for more info.

I hope you will rethink the Mystery Photo removal. If too many like me are guessing, then just tell us how many a month or whatever would be the limit. I’ll comply. To me it’s just fun not trying to win or anything. Like I said my Dad was stationed in the Beaufort area for 4 marines and 3 1/2 Coast Guard so I heard many, many stories.
I don’t understand this comment. We continue to publish the mystery photo weekly.
