Our previous Mystery Photo
Our May 15 image, “Kind of spooky,” was pretty tough. Only one reader, the reliable sleuth George Graf of Palmyra, Va., correctly identified the house as Stony Point Plantation, which is located seven miles northeast of Greenwood.
Graf gave a little context: “William Smith founded a post office, the second in Greenwood County, at the site of Stony Point. Smith also founded a store at Stony Point. William Smith died before the house was completed. His son, Joel Smith, purchased Stony Point from his father’s estate and finished construction of the house. Joel Smith owned 78 slaves. The house is of Flemish-bond brick construction. The foundations of the original kitchen and carriage house remain on the property.” More info.
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!
