Description
Colorized photo from 1865
Original title: Charleston, S.C. Archibald McLeish's Vulcan Iron Works and other houses on Cumberland Street
Location: 4 Cumberland Street. Charleston SC
This is a blacksmith shop that made different items for both the Civil war and the people of South Carolina. They made just about anything but the kitchen sink. Tools, implements, they even fixed wagons (which is why the yard looks like a chop shop). They did not however make cannons despite the fact its on the end of that really cool looking sign.
However this state did fall in the war, and it was taken over, you can see the Federals in the porch over there.
Not much else is written about this place, if that sign ever fell on anyone, or how they even got it up there in the first place.
