Last week’s mystery photo, “Spooky,” showed the interior in 1958 of the S.C. State Arsenal at the old Citadel adjacent to Marion Square in downtown Charleston. Years later, it became offices for Charleston County (the coroner’s office was on the second floor at right) before it was transformed into an Embassy Suites hotel.
Congratulations to all of those who recognized the old building, including George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Steve Willis of Lancaster; Elizabeth Jones, John Hart, Jay Altman and Karen Ingram, all of Columbia; Judy Hines of Charleston; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Will Bradley of Las Vegas, Nevada; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Pat Keadle of Wagener; Jacie Godfrey and Barry Wingard, both of Florence; Hope Williams of Varnville; Will Williams of Aiken; Michael Webb and Bill Segars, both of Hartsville; and Elaine Huff-Lowe of Inman. Thanks all!
