The image is a black and white photograph of the entrance of the Charleston Library Society. The building is a two-story structure with a large arched window on the left side and a small balcony on the right side. The entrance is flanked by two columns with intricate carvings on the top and bottom. Above the entrance, there is a sign that reads "CHARLESTON LIBRARY SOCIETY" in black lettering. The sky is visible through the window, and there are trees and bushes surrounding the building. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the entrance. The overall mood of the image is peaceful and serene.
