The image showcases General Quincy Adams Gillmore's headquarters on Folly Island, South Carolina, a significant location during this tumultuous period in American history. The photograph captures the essence of military life at that time, with its stark contrast between light and shadow adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The dilapidated building stands as a testament to the harsh realities faced by soldiers during wartime.
