This portable field guide to the historic architecture of western
North Carolina covers 1,200 historic buildings in 25 counties in
the foothills and mountains. It introduces readers to the region's
rich and diverse architectural heritage--from the log farmstead to
the opulent mountain retreat, and from ancient earthen mounds of
the Cherokee to twentieth-century hydroelectric dams and the Blue
Ridge Parkway. Featuring more than 370 photographs and 36 maps, the
guide is written for travelers and residents alike. It offers
concise entries on notable buildings, neighborhoods, and
communities, emphasizing buildings that are visible from the road
and indicating sites that are open to the public. A project of the
North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office of the Division
of Archives and History and its western office in Asheville, the
book reflects more than twenty-five years of fieldwork and research
in the agency's statewide architectural survey and National
Register of Historic Places programs. A previous volume covers
eastern North Carolina and a future volume will cover the piedmont
region. |This illustrated field guide to the historic architecture
of western North Carolina covers 1200 buildings in 25 counties,
from Cherokee mounds to the Biltmore House.
