This lavishly illustrated volume provides a comprehensive view of a
community that is called by some the ""southern part of heaven.""
Ruth Little tells the story of Chapel Hill's ""town"" and ""gown""
from the earliest architecture of the town and campus to the
imposing public and university structures of the early twentieth
century and the modernist subdivisions built from the late 1950s
through the 1970s. The culmination of years of architectural survey
work by several researchers, ""Town and Gown"" makes excellent use
of both documentary and current photographs of individual
structures. An 8-page color insert contains photographs by State
Historic Preservation Office photographer, Bill Garrett, showcasing
the most important and widely recognized of Chapel Hill's
buildings. Historic cartographer, Michael Southern has added maps
of the campus and selected Chapel Hill neighborhoods, making ""Town
and Gown"" useful as a carry-along guidebook. This volume marks a
major addition to the literature of architectural history and the
preservation of place. Everyone who has a fondness for the
community of Chapel Hill will treasure it.
