Water wheels seem to attract photographers. And there’s more than one reason that this particular one is photographed so much. Tell us where you think this one is located and send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.
The Mystery Photo from last issue was what was once a Georgia Courthouse, located in Union County. Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill sent this in, telling us: “…..the Union County Historical Society Museum is not just about the past. It is very much the center of community activities today. The museum hosts crafts festivals, exhibits, parades, parties, a variety of musical events including Friday night concerts and all sorts of fun things. I first came here for an evening of Scottish humor and music during the Blairsville Scottish Festival. It’s a lively place.”
For some reason, only two people figured out where this was taken, one of whom was Bob Foreman of Grayson. “The mystery photo is the old historic Union County Courthouse in Blairsville, Georgia. We were just in Blairsville a few weeks ago. Beautiful area.”
The reliable George Graf of Palmyra, Va. wrote: “Union County Museum is located in the historic and restored Union County Courthouse. Highlights of the museum include The Romanesque Revival-style courthouse, built in 1899 (at the center of some debate) and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The building was designed by J.W. Golucke, a noted courthouse architect of the day, who was arrested (perhaps erroneously) for fraud in another project and eventually died in jail.”
