What is this and why would we have it this week as a mystery photo? Send your name, hometown and guess to: feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s mystery, “Old stores,” showed businesses in Anderson, S.C., on Church Street, which Texas photo sleuth Allan Peel said was a thriving center for African American commerce for eight decades ending in the 1970s. Buildings include a warehouse that later was used as a grocery, an old theater that closed in 1925 and reopened as a furniture store and another furniture store.
Others who identified the photo were: Bill Segars of Hartsville; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Pat Keadle of Perry; and Jay Altman and Elizabeth Jones, both of Columbia.
- 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!
