It is 1880- 90s time period. I wouldn't assume that the "SC" is for South Carolina.

 

Based on the photographers location in KY, I believe it is some sort of school in that area.

Thanks. The largest military school in Kentucky was KMI [Kentucky Military Institute]. There was also a school at Millersburg. I would guess that the man could have been visiting from anywhere. Another good argument for folks to label their pictures.
