Here’s an old house with wrap-around porches. But where is it and what is it? Send us your guess of what this photo shows – as well as your name and hometown – to feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s “Little white building,” a photo sent in by Daniel Prohaska of Mount Pleasant, is the Inglis-McIver Law Office in Cheraw. Hartsville’s Bill Segars shares that the office, now on Market Street, “was located on Front Street when it was built in 1810. This 12’x27′ wood framed building is one of the few surviving buildings left undamaged by Union troops when they destroyed the downtown district of Cheraw in 1865. It served as the law office for Henry Inglis, chief justice of S.C. Supreme Court, and John A. McIver, chairman of the S.C. Ordinance Secession Committee. It was moved to this location in 1947.”
Others who correctly identified it were: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Jay Altman and Elizabeth Jones, both of Columbia; Marian Covington of Cheraw; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; Rene McDaniel of Rock Hill; Don Clark of Hartsville; Kerry Berry, Lisa Campbell, Jessica Leviner and Carol Jones (please remember to send your hometown as well as your name).
