Keeper of the Gate

Photographs of the Works of Philip Simmons

Mr. Simmons has created a body of work that has been appreciated by his numerous clients over the years, and admired by thousands of tourists who visit Charleston annually. "I've learned through the years that your best advertisement is a satisfied customer." Of his anvil he says, "I'm proud of my anvil, really proud.... It's very dear to my heart. ...That anvil fed me when I was hungry and that anvil clothed me when I was naked. That anvil put shoes on my feet."
