Download or read book Architecture of the Old South written by Mills Lane and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early colonial times to the onset of the Civil War, the finest examples of antebellum architecture in the South are revealed in glorious photographs and a scholarly text. 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 a surprising conclusion-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 been fully appreciated. Indeed, the illustrations and text of Architecture of the Old South, though presenting famous shrines, explore the unexpected by-ways of Southern architecture and history. The great buildings of great cities-Baltimore, Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans-and plantations and country houses of the gentry are well represented. But here also can be found a wealth of the unfamiliar-frontier cabins, eccentric houses built by gentlemen amateurs, grand designs of professional designers from England and Europe. When the "Architecture of the Old South" series was begun in 1981, the New York Times praised the first of these volumes as "dignified and handsome, with engaging texts that strike a neat balance between architectural scholarship and social history." Mills Lane, a native Georgian who was educated at Harvard, boasts that he is "a Yankee above the waist and a Southerner below the waist." He has brought to his subject an affection and familiarity with the South balanced by a wider perspective. As publisher of The Beehive Press, located in a house facing one of Savannah's verdant squares, Lane has produced more than fifty books about the cultural and social history of Georgia and the South. In an age that seems to spin bigger and faster, Lane was honored with a 1993 commendation by Dartmouth College Library for his "clear vision, patient scholarly investigation and persistent progress". As author, Mills Lane has written eight previous volumes in the "Architecture of the Old South" series, state-by-state surveys of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky-Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Misssisippi-Alabama and Louisiana. 250 illustrations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built in 1829, the Gorgas House is the oldest structure on the University of Alabama campus. Originally constructed to serve as a hotel, housing for the university steward, and student dining hall, the building underwent several renovations to meet the needs of an ever-changing and growing campus. Later utilized as a faculty residence, classroom, post office, and infirmary, the Gorgas House was one of the few buildings to survive the destruction of campus near the end of the Civil War. Standing as a lasting reminder of the university's antebellum past, the house is preserved today as a museum dedicated to the legacy of the building's final residents, the Gorgas family.
