A view from the past

Charleston, SC

I have boxes of old pictures in my office closet and while looking for a shot the folks in Marketing needed last week I came across some old pictures of downtown Charleston documenting the building of Roper Hospital.

This one was taken from the roof of Roper Hospital on Calhoun St. looking towards the Ashley River and is labeled 1953. I was amazed that there were no buildings between the hospital and the river. No buildings, no hotels, no docks built out into the river. Only one bridge.

Here are a few others.

Hmmm. Wonder if I can get up on the new tower and take another shot of the same view.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
