Last week’s mystery, “Three flags,” showed the South Carolina, Irish and American flags at Charlotte Street Park in Charleston. Congratulations to these sleuths who identified it: Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Elizabeth Jones and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; and Pat Keadle of Wagener.
Peel shared, “The park was designed by Sheila Wertimer, a proficient landscape architect who operates in the Charleston area and who has, during the past two decades, designed hundreds of gardens, city parks, rural landscapes and rooftop gardens. The Irish Memorial was completed in January 2013 and dedicated in June 2013 to honor all the past immigrants who had come to South Carolina and influenced its long history, ranging from those who fought in the Civil War, signed the Declaration of Independence, and even some who were mayors of the “Holy City”. Not visible in the mystery photo is the main feature of the Memorial itself, a large granite map of Ireland and its counties which extends over the waters of the Cooper River.
- 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!
