This picture needs to be verified. No church like that ever existed near St. Andrew's Hall. St. Andrew's Hall was next door to the gothic cathedral of St. John & St. Finbar, which looked nothing like the church in the picture. If it's Charleston, the church could be St. Philip's or St. Michael's, however, something is incorrect here.

You can verify it yourself. Do a Google Books search for The Genesis of the Civil War: The Story of Sumter, 1860-61 by Samuel Wylie Crawford. — BrianSmithson 03:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to this site[1] this image is of the South Carolina Institute, not St. Andrew's Hall. They have another image of St. Andrew's Hall. Nicholas F 22:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the hall in this picture is Institute Hall, where 134 Meeting Street is today. It is NOT the St. Andrew's Hall. It was completly destroyed in either the fire of 1961, or the War. Not sure. The church behind it is the Circular Congregational Church. It is still there, but has a markedly different appearance after being rebuilt. I have a picture of St. Andrew's Hall, but do not know how to post it here. Email me at charlestondan@bellsouth.net if you know how. 63.243.1.138 (talk) 19:00, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Dan Mengedoht63.243.1.138 (talk) 19:00, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

There is another "Secession Hall" in Austria, which I am planning to start its article. If everyone is OK with it, I will remove the link from "Secession Hall" to this article, and will create a disambiguation article instead. Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable. — Dulcem (talk) 01:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
