My mom came to town this week and was interested in seeing the locations, so we headed out to Riverfront Park and I took some more pictures to share with you guys!
General Holden & Claudia Joy's house. All of the flowers and grass were fake. I wish we could have seen inside but it was all boarded up.
This is the front door of General Clark & Jackie's house. There were two men working on completely renovating the inside of this house and they let us go inside. The woodwork was so beautiful inside and of course it was HUGE!
This house is no longer being used for Army Wives and so they are turning it into a restaurant and catering service for the SC Strong Program. The men that let us into the house were part of this program that rehabilitates criminals and addicts. The homes that house the participants of SC Strong are right beside this one. The men go to these houses to work and rebuild a life for themselves. These men were such gentlemen and very sweet. It just goes to show that it is never too late to turn your life around.
My phone lens was fogging up a bit from all the heat, but this is the beautiful Clark house. I had to go across the street to get the whole house in the picture!
The building used for the hospital. I went and looked inside the front door and it had been completely stripped down and looked very ragged. It made me question if this is where they actually film the scenes that take place inside of the hospital.
The Administrative Building. The building is so beautiful. It was the only one that still looked glamorous on the inside. Fancy chandeliers and beautiful staircases were just a couple of it's wonderful features. I have a feeling this building is used for something else when they are not filming, because there were a lot of people there and the inside seemed to be just like it was in the show.
Joan & Roland Burton's home. Their grass was real, but the random patch of sunflowers were very fake.
We had to travel away from Riverfront Park & the Old Naval Base to find the building used for the Hump Bar. It is a very small cafe and is only used for the outside shots. The inside scenes are filmed elsewhere. There was a for sale sign on this building, which confirmed what the two men had told us earlier. Army Wives will most likely not be returning to Charleston for filming. I wonder what this means for the show. It could mean the end, or it could mean they all get re-stationed. I guess we will just have to wait and see!
