Revisiting the Coleman-Aiken-Balser House in Chester, South Carolina
Built before 1900 in Chester, South Carolina, the Coleman-Aiken-Balser is a striking house that has caught the imagination of photographers and passers-by. I first photographed it in 2022. While it doesn’t look worse, it doesn’t seem better either. I thought I saw signs of potential work, but there are still windows open to the elements.
I hope to see it restored one day.
Mount Carmel A.M.E. Zion Church & Campground in Heath Springs, South Carolina
Mount Carmel A.M.E. Zion Church & Campground was founded in 1866 in Heath Springs, South Carolina It is a historic African Methodist Episcopal Zion meeting site. The grounds include a brick church, about 55 cabins, an open-air arbor for worship, and a cemetery. The annual camp meeting begins the first Wednesday in September and lasts 4–5 days.
I did not explore the grounds due to several no trespassing signs. Below are images from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. These images are part of the National Register of Historic Places nomination. It was listed in 1979.
