Reflections remembers many of Sumter's landmarks that have been razed or altered to make room for new structures that may have required additional space. Webster defines a landmark as any prominent feature of the landscape, such as a tree or building, serving to identify a particular locality. This report will identify several of our community's landmarks that have since disappeared; perhaps many of our readers will remember them.
