Last week’s mystery, “Broken building” shows the former St. John’s Masonic Temple at 1001 King St. in Charleston. It has partially collapsed and will be demolished after suffering termite infestation. Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, provided some historical insight: “In 1941, the Local Union No. 159 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America engaged local architect Stephen Thomas (1842–1949) and contractor P.G. Eadie to build the brick building. The Union headquarters, often called Carpenter’s Hall, housed offices and meeting space on the second floor with storefronts on the ground floor.”
Congrats to others who correctly identified the building: Robert Ariail of Camden; Steve Willis of Lancaster, Jay Altman and Katherine Wells, both of Columbia; Philip Cromer of Beaufort, Bill Segars of Hartsville, and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
