Everett B. Wilson

4.9/5 (29898 ratings)

Description:The citizens of the large, venerable cities of the South can point with pride to numerous old dwellings of great artistic appeal and distinction. But what has not been generally realized, in the South as elsewhere, is that there are many smaller southern towns which have a considerable number of buildings which possess genuine charm or have architectural importance or historical significance. In his latest book, Everette B. Wilson, that unflagging seeker of what is best but oft-forgotten in our heritage, takes the reader into nine southern states, visiting the quaint and often by-passed towns as well as some of the larger cities, depicting in word and photograph the wide range of architectural styles and influences that still exist in the South.All forms of the immensely influential southern styles are presented - Jefferson Classic, Greek Revival, Spanish Provincial, and Creole, as well as plainer styles of an earlier era. Of the more than 370 buildings pictured, 51 date from before the Revolution, 75 were constructed before the end of 1800, and nearly 80 were built after 1840.In Early Southern Towns Mr. Wilson has added another invaluable architectural record to his growing list of distinguished books of Americana.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
