Florence, South Carolina

Bridge across Santee River and Lake Marion

One of the many points of interest traveling along U.S. 301 and 15 between Florence and Orangeburg, S.C.  A fisherman's paradise as it is the home of the only salt water striped Rock Bass landlocked in the fresh water.

Charleston, South Carolina

Nathaniel Russell House

Charleston, S.C.

On Meeting Street is this splendid example of Post-Colonial architecture, build about 1811.  Interesting is the three story octagonal bay on the side and the transomed entrance portal with its elliptical fanlight.  Also, the wrought iron balcony at the second-story level bears the monogram of the original owner.  Interior, decorated in the Adam style, is planned with an oval drawing room and a graceful spiral stairway.  Open to the public.

Oldest Church in South Carolina

Goose Creek Church - Near Charleston, S.C.

St. James' Parish, Goose Creek, was established in 1706 and the building was completed in 1719.  The only church not profaned by the British in the Revolutionary War possibly because the Royal Arms were allowed to remain over the altar.  The Episcopal Church is architecturally one of the finest in the area.

Old St. Andrews - Near Charleston, S.C.

On the Asheley River Road is this old Episcopal Church completed as a cruciform in 1733, burned in 1763, and later rebuilt by popular subscription.  The Church, like many others, formerly served as a financial yardstick for its parisioners - the front pews renting higher than the rear ones.

First Presbyterian Church - Charleston, S.C.

Congregation dates from 1731 when Scottish families withdrew from the original Presbyterian body and bought this site where the present structure was erected in 1814.  Its fine auditorium contains many mural tablets and in the adjoining churchyard are buried some famous Charlestonians.  Land titles stipulated that the property should be used only for a Presbyterian Church retaining the Church of Scotland form of government.

Fort Sumter - Charleston, South Carolina

Fort Sumter standing majestically in Charleston's harbor, where the first shot of the Civil War was fired.  This fort stood more bombarding than any other fort in the world before Port Arthur.

Fort Sumter National Monument

Charleston, South Carolina

42-pounder smoothbore cannon such as these were used by Federal Forces when Confederates bombardedthe Fort in April 1861.  Existing cannon were modified for 1861-1865 use after Confederates garrisoned the Fort.  Massive arch construction in these rooms helped protect the soldiers.

Plan a trip to Fort Sumter.

Miami Beach, Florida

This first postcard probably has the most text that I've seen included on any card I've seen.

Fabulous "Hotelrow" commonly known at the "Gold Coast"

Hotel Row located in the gold coast area of Miami Beach is bounded on the east by the beautiful blue Atlantic Ocean and the west by Indian Creek, a natural body of water.  During the winter the community boasts more wealth than any other place in the world.

Once a coconut plantation, the island today has a year 'round population of well over 45,500 and over 200,000 during the height of the winter season.  Miami Beach is extraordinary... It has no railroads, no airport, no cemetery, nor manufacturing.  It is however, plentiful with theaters, night clubs, restaurants, swimming pools and cabanas, parks, golf courses, dog racing and many other amusements.

During the war over 200 hotels were leased to the U.S. Army and several hundred thousand men took their training in the "Playground of the World".

Contrary to the impression of many that Miami Beach is a part of Miami, Miami Beach is a separate municipality and was incorporated as a city in 1917.
