Dancing Charleston at the Capitol

Charleston Dancing at the Capitol

Here we present an historic image of Charleston at the Capitol. It was taken in between 1920 and 1930.

The image shows Rep. T.S. McMillan of Charleston, S.C. with flappers, Miss Ruth Bennett and Miss Sylvia Clavins, who are doing the Charleston on railing, with U.S. Capitol in background.

We have created this collection of images primarily to serve as an easy to access educational tool. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
