OK, here’s a challenge. This photo depicts five different buildings (and different styles of buildings) in Charleston at a single glance. What are the five structures? Bonus point: What is the name of the street I am standing on in order to take such a shot?

    OK, I’ll try again, since I had so much luck with my Quarrier Street guess.

    The five structures are the building with No. 8 Capitol Street in the basement (I don’t know what it’s called now), the Union Building, Sunrise, Chase Tower (or Charleston National Bank, back in the day) and the train depot (don’t know the official name now).

    Bonus: I believe you’re standing on Summers

    OOOOhhh, Beach Queen, you are good. Your distance several states south of Charleston, WV has not diminished your recall. You are obviously not spending TOO much time baking your brain in the Low Country heat of the George coast. Thanks. I owe you a cappuccino at Sophia’s next you return to the Old Country (meaning WV, of course) | WD
