Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Aug. 21 photo, “Unusual building,” pulled in responses from all over the state and as far away as California. It showed the dome house, a hurricane-proof building, on the northern end of Sullivan’s Island.
Congratulations to those who identified it: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Mary Greene and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; Carl Blum of Johns Island; Daniel Brownstein, David Lupo and Larry Murray, all of Mount Pleasant; Robert Ariail of Camden; Joe Mendelsohn of Charleston; Paula Egelson of Atlanta, Ga.; Daniel Prohaska of Moncks Corner, Will Williams of Aiken; Greg Leventis of Oakland, Calif.; Barry Wingard of Florence; Henry Eldridge of Tega Cay; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas.
Lupo said the house is known as “Eye of the Storm” for being “constructed after Hurricane Hugo destroyed the previous house on the lot in 1989. The owners’ son happened to be in the business of constructing concrete buildings, and he along with a local architect came up with the oval dome design, which they hoped would survive the next storm to come along.”
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!
