Officer's Quarters in the rain

Officer's Quarter, Old Navy Base, Charleston, S.C.

Waaaa....it is Sunday night. The only thing I promised that I would do this weekend was my taxes and I haven't started them yet. Sob. This happens every year. I end up getting a refund but I can't make myself do them.

Sunday night and Army Wives should be on so I'll treat you to another scene that you might spot in the series. They showed a glimpse of this building last week and said something like, "can you imagine the parties you could hold." What a grand mansion!

Constructed in 1905 this is the Officer's Quarters H-I on the old Charleston Navy Base. I am so pleased to see that it has been renovated. It was heart breaking to watch this beautiful building fall to ruin and vandalism. Check this link for Robert Behre's Post & Courier article about the renovation.

Now, would someone please come over and do my taxes?

  1. Beautiful building, and nicely framed picture.

    Now, about helping you with your tax return? No.
