quite some time ago, I posted this blog about my love for summer.
Over a year later, I've come back to this blog and was taken aback by the first image.
It's Thompson Auditorium at Cannon Park on Rutledge Ave., and less than 500 yards from my current home.
What really struck me was that in the time since that post, I have been doing research on the history of the Charleston Museum and its connections with the Classics Museum at the College of Charleston. Strangely enough, after the collection was held at the museum, and before it came to call Meeting Street home, Thompson Auditorium served as Charleston's Museum (from 1906 to the 1970s to be more specific).
Unfortunately, a google search leaves much to be desired on more information about Thompson Auditorium and its magnificent history.
I love you Charleston. Thank you for being so rich in history and reminding me daily that I am surrounded by it.
