"The Architecture of William Nichols: Building the Antebellum
South in North Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi" is the first
comprehensive biography and monograph of a significant yet
overlooked architect in the American South. William Nichols
designed three major university campuses--the University of North
Carolina, the University of Alabama, and the University of
Mississippi. He also designed the first state capitols of North
Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. Nichols's architecture
profoundly influenced the built landscape of the South but due to
fire, neglect, and demolition, much of his work was lost and
history has nearly forgotten his tremendous legacy.
In his research onsite and through archives in North Carolina,
Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, Paul Hardin Kapp has produced
a narrative of the life and times of William Nichols that weaves
together the elegant work of this architect with the aspirations
and challenges of the Antebellum South. It is richly illustrated
with over two hundred archival photographs and drawings from the
Historic American Building Survey.
