This award-winning, lavishly illustrated history displays the wide range of North Carolina's architectural heritage, from colonial times to the beginning of World War II. North Carolina Architecture addresses the state's grand public and private buildings that have become familiar landmarks, but it also focuses on the quieter beauty of more common structures: farmhouses, barns, urban dwellings, log houses, mills, factories, and churches. These buildings, like the people who created them and who have used them, are central to the character of North Carolina. Now in a convenient new format, this portable edition of North Carolina Architecture retains all of the text of the original edition as well as hundreds of halftones by master photographer Tim Buchman. Catherine Bishir's narrative analyzes construction and design techniques and locates the structures in their cultural, political, and historical contexts. This extraordinary history of North Carolina's built world presents a unique and valuable portrait of the state.

Many travelers have passed through Jones County over the years and remember the oak-lined streets in the county seat of Trenton, the impressive courthouse, and the old Brock Mill with its gentle overflow and cypress-covered pond. Others remember the southern homes in the towns of Maysville and Pollocksville, and the brick plantation home of the Foscue family just north of Pollocksville. Though Jones County was settled as an extension of New Bern in the early eighteenth century, it came into its own during the antebellum period with substantial plantation homes, often featuring two-story porches. The distance between these homes, set upon a flat landscape of cleared agricultural fields, and separated by the meandering Trent and White Oak rivers, pocosins, and forestlands, only added to their individual grandeur. This book offers a glimpse of these historic resources. Initiated as a countywide survey in the late 1990s, it is the culmination of years of additional fieldwork and research designed to add context to the individual buildings and agricultural structures along with a sense of the people who had inhabited them. Though many of these structures have disappeared with time, documented only through photographs and drawings, much of the rich architectural heritage of the county is still visible today. Of almost equal importance, Jones County retains its rural character, including its managed forestlands and vast open landscapes of cultivated fields of cotton, tobacco, corn, and soybeans. It is our sincere hope that The Architectural History of Jones County, North Carolina will provide readers with a deeper appreciation of the rich and diversified heritage of this unique county in the southeastern coastal plain of North Carolina.

Background that is free of any dogmatic architectural thesis. As this volume so clearly demonstrates, North Carolina has long suffered from an unjustified cultural inferiority complex. Despite an early start, North Carolina, with shallow harbors and unnavigable rivers, developed slowly, but finally produced architecture of great variety and beauty. The colonial buildings of New Bern and Edenton, the Moravian buildings at the frontier metropolis of Salem, the magnificent.
