EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926, presents a stunning view looking south on King Street in Charleston, South Carolina. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this historic city during the 1920s. The photograph features a number of intricately designed buildings, showcasing the unique architecture of Charleston. One such building, located at 89 King Street, is a two-and-a-half stone masonry house with a distinctive window in the gable end, crowned with a square cap. The masonry work on the building is a testament to the craftsmanship and heritage of the area. The scene is bustling with activity, as people go about their business on the streets. A boy in overalls and a hat can be seen standing on the sidewalk, while two boys play with a wagon in the foreground. A man in a suit and hat walks along the sidewalk, while another man, likely a deliveryman, unloads goods from a wagon. The image also offers a glimpse into the racial diversity of Charleston during this era, as African Americans are also visible in the scene, going about their daily lives. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Charleston, and a testament to the power of photography to capture a moment in time. This photograph is held in the collections of the Library of Congress, and is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or photography. It is a reminder of the past, and a window into a bygone era.
