Synopsis
Despite an early start, North Carolina, with shallow harbors, unnavigable rivers and a treacherous coast, developed slowly. By the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, however, the colony began to flourish, producing small but exquisitely built brick houses and then, with the arrival of a new Royal Governor and his pet architect, John Hawks, the noble Governor's Palace in the imperial Palladian style. This volume presents the famous buildings-Cupola House at Edenton, the Governor's Palace at New Bern, the Moravian buildings of Salem, the magnificent Greek Revival Capitol at Raleigh. It also presents some surprises-Old Brick House, a small but delightful colonial manor copied from an 18th-century English pattern book, Little Manor, a sumptuous house now in ruins, Cooleemee, a plantation house with an extraordinary cruciform plan.
