A friend sent along the above picture and we thought it would make a tough, but good, Mystery Photo. Your one hint: It’s somewhere in the South, but not South Carolina. Send your guess about the location of this photo to feedback@statehousereport.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.
Our previous Mystery Photo
Our June 14 mystery, “Pretty rustic, huh?” was tougher than usual. It showed a bath house at Paris Mountain State Park near Greenville.
Only a few devoted sleuths correctly identified the mystery. Hats off to: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Jay Altman of Columbia; Dale Rhodes of Richmond, Va.; and Frank Bouknight of Summerville.
Graf provided this context: “According to bmwusplant.com, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) originally built the 2,400-square-foot facility in the 1930s as a series of state parks emerged across South Carolina during the Great Depression and Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal.
“The renovation is the result of an effort that began in 2001 with a meeting between Leadership Greenville and the S.C. State Park Service. The bathhouse was long used as a changing area and concessions building for swimmers and picnickers at the popular park. Now, to meet the changed needs of visitors, it will serve as the hub for all activities at Paris Mountain State Park, including registering campers, providing trail information, and interpretive programming on such topics as the aquatic environment in the mountainside park’s streams and ponds.”
- 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!
