Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Nov. 1 image, “Looks like some kind of sports complex,” was, in fact, a sports complex. The one pictured is in North Augusta where the SRP Park is home to the Augusta GreenJackets minor league baseball team.
Congratulations to Steve Willis of Lancaster; Arlene Traxler of Edgefield; Dale Rhodes of Richmond, Va.; Jay Altman, Tom Posey and Julia Beaty, both of Columbia, Randy Herald of Lexington; Jacie Godfrey of Florence; Philip Cromer of Beaufort; Will Williams of Aiken; Bill Segars of Hartsville; and Vic Carpenter of Lugoff.
Traxler said the park opened in April 2018. “In addition to baseball, they have many events during the year. It is a beautiful location with accommodations, good food and a view of the beautiful river.”
Graf added, “It can seat 4,782 people. SRP Park replaced Lake Olmstead Stadium as the home of the GreenJackets. Stadium naming rights were purchased by the SRP Federal Credit Union.”

We Can Do Better, South Carolina!
The Octagon House, also known as Zelotes Holmes House, is an historic octagonal house located at 619 East Main Street in Laurens, South Carolina. Designed and built in 1859 to 1862 by the Rev. Zelotes Lee Holmes, a Presbyterian minister and teacher, it is thought to be the first concrete house erected in South Carolina. It was called the Zelotes Holmes House by the Historic American Buildings Survey.
