Here’s an intersection somewhere in South Carolina. Guess where it is and you win a big, big prize. (Well, you win recognition in Statehouse Report.) Where is it? Send your guess – and your name and hometown – to feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s image of “Old brick building,” showed what was once known as the Lee Library at Claflin University. Built in 1898 as the historical black university’s first library, it now houses the Arthur Rose Museum.
Several regulars identified the building: Jay Altman and Elizabeth Jones, both of Columbia; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Jacie Godfrey of Florence; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; and Pat Keadle of Wagener. Good work!
Peel shared that “after the library was relocated to a much larger facility elsewhere on campus, the building housed the art department for many years with Professor Arthur Rose (1921 – 1995) as chairman. Later, the art department moved to Layman Hall and the board of trustees decided to convert the old Lee building into the Arthur Rose Museum.”
>> Send us a mystery picture. 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!
