Excerpt

Preface

This book, a guide to historic architecture in Piedmont North Carolina, is the third in a three-volume series that also includes volumes on Eastern North Carolina (1996) and Western North Carolina (1999). The series is part of the educational and outreach program of the State Historic Preservation Office, North Carolina Division of Archives and History. Each book is intended as a field guide and reference for the traveler, resident, student, and preservationist with an interest in North Carolina's historic architecture. Although too large for a coat pocket, it is meant to fit in a knapsack, glove compartment, or bike basket, for it is intended to accompany the traveler and visitor in the field as well as resting on a bookshelf.
