Meanwhile, last week’s mystery – “Impressive old building” – is from the Library of Congress and shows the City Hall Opera House and Columbia Theatre on Main Street at Gervais Street in Columbia.
Columbia resident Jay Altman writes that the structure, built around 1900, served as the city’s third city hall and also housed the Columbia Theatre. The building featured Renaissance architecture, including distinctive twin towers. But it was demolished in the late 1930s to make way for a new hotel, which was demolished five decades later.
Congratulations to those who correctly identified the painting: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; and Frank Bouknight of Summerville.
