After the US Civil War the area in and around Charleston went from rich to poor. Since the war started here there was no love lost for the town.
And yet General James Simons (1813–1879) managed to have this huge crypt created for himself and family.
He was a politician, Confederate General, marries into the Wragg family, a cotton smuggler, and probably a few other occupations.
Below is his large mausoleum outside of Charleston.

That is great Ted, love the monochrome.
Thanks. The design almost doesn’t fit here. Classic in the middle of rust and ruin 😆😆. I guess if you want to show off your wealth this is the way to do it.
Nice B&W Ted!
Thanks. This cemetery area reminds me of Bonaventure. Not as neat and tidy, but old with class. 😄😄
