Summary: "This handsome volume is the culmination of a distinguished series that has explored the historic buildings of the Old South The fruit of fifteen years of travel and research, Architecture of the Old South surveys the most beautiful and historic buildings of the region and illustrates them with color photographs, old prints, and drawings. The Authoritative, and sometimes amusing, text documents surprising conclusions - that most of the great buildings of the Old South were created by Yankee builders and that the South participated more fully in the mainstream of American life before the Civil War than has fully been appreciated." - From the Jacket From early colonial times to the onset of the Civil War, the finest examples of antebellum architecture in the South--Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival, and Romantic--are revealed in glorious photographs and a scholarly text by prolific Southern culturalist Mills Lane. 250 illustrations, 225 in full-color.
