This March 2009 photo and description of the Springs House in Lancaster comes to the South Carolina Picture Project by way of See Lancaster – a non-profit group which encourages travel and tourism in Lancaster County.
"When David Platt from the Lancaster County School District saw the banners on Main Street in Rock Hill, he was so inspired he brought the project back to his home town. After obtaining a grant, and with the help of the Lancaster County Council of the Arts, the project was under way.
The banners, made of canvas, were designed and painted by local school children and community members. Every school in the county was involved. Students from middle and high schools made their marks on huge cubes which were erected on the lawn in front of the Springs House – home to the Lancaster County Council of the Arts and See Lancaster, who helped co-sponsor the project.
Renowned artist and local resident Bob Doster designed the cubes, and the City of Lancaster assisted with the installation. These colorful cubes and banners will be on display in historic downtown Lancaster until the end of April 2009."
