I think picture 2 is Charleston, SC.
Also, I think it links to verse 6.
I may be able to tighten it up more, too.

I haven't been to SC, my guess is from the following clues in the verse:

Of all the romance retold
Men of tales and tunes
Cruel and bold
Seen here
By eyes of old

This whole section sounds like it's talking about an old theater. The Dock Theatre in Charleston, SC is one of the oldest in the country.

Stand and listen to the birds
Hear the cool, clear song of water

This part sounds like the location should be near the water (or named for the water). The Dock Theater is both.

Then I'm lost for a bit, and then:

Edwin and Edwina named after him

Edwin Booth's father, Junius Booth played at The Planter's Hotel before it became The Dock Theater. (Edwina is Edwin's only child.) Ooh! EDIT: EDwin was named after Edwin FORREST, so there may be a pun at play.

And then I'm lost again, but like I said --- I've never been to SC.
