Middleton Place: A Phoenix Still Rising

Filled with 141 beautiful images of the plantation, the book offers a history of Middleton Place from the colonial period into the 21st century. The book replaces a similar, but much shorter book published in the mid 1970's. The latest edition gives a more in depth look into the rise, fall and rise again of what is now a treasured National Historic Landmark.

Duell was formerly a Chairman of the Charleston Board of Architectural Review (as was his wife, Sallie) and has served on numerous not-for-profit and corporate boards.
