A Guide to the Historic Architecture of Eastern North Carolina

“A diverse and extensive guide for explorers with a historical bent. . . . An excellent guidebook. . . . No trip to the beach should be a straight drive when the Coastal Plain’s back roads offer fascinating stories of North Carolina’s history through the details of its architecture.” — Coastwatch

“This guide, with its maps and detailed place descriptions, would be an invaluable aid to heritage tourists.” — Wilson Daily Times

“Anyone who loves North Carolina history or architecture will adore this superbly written and illustrated guide. This is truly a book to treasure.” — Southern Pines Pilot

“This is the perfect gift, for it is not armchair scholarship and no one who takes the time to buy and use this book will be untouched. The book transcends the architectural report, combining architectural details, reasons for significance, and ripping vignettes of common and uncommon places into a succinct prose history.” — North Carolina Historical Review

“Not just the Cupola House and Tryon Palace, but tobacco barns, shotgun houses, textile factories, and railroad stations, too. A feast of North Carolina’s historic structures that will stand as a definitive source for many years.” — Roy Parker Jr., contributing editor, Fayetteville Observer-Times

“The three-volume guide to the historic architecture of North Carolina may top the list of guide books. These three books provide what is surely the most comprehensive, historically and culturally informative, and easy-to-use set of guides to any state in the nation.” — ARRIS
