Book excerpt: Located near the geographic center of North Carolina, the Lee County area has been defined by transportation for the past two centuries. From river navigation along the Deep and Cape Fear Rivers to early plank roads, crisscrossing railroad lines, and major U.S. highways, this area has seen countless travelers come and go by boat, car, horse, buggy, train, and motor vehicle. Along the way, a number of the travelers settled, and communities formed. Through the efforts of leaders from communities such as Jonesboro and Sanford, a new county was formed in 1907-1908. Lee County was the 98th county formed in North Carolina, and despite its relatively small land area, it has a rich and vital history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated volume--the result of nearly a century of scholarship--tells the story of Franklin County's change through the lens of its remarkable architectural heritage. The original houses were modest dwellings of frame, log, and occasionally stone construction; wealthier farmers ornamented their houses in the Georgian and Federal styles. Mills, churches, and country stores provided focal points for the largely rural population. Later generations built impressive residences in the Greek Revival and Italianate styles. Cotton and tobacco undergirded economic development well into the twentieth century, attracting railroads and industry that contributed to the growth of Louisburg, Bunn, Franklinton, Youngsville, and other communities. Churches provided important support to the African American community, as did educational institutions like the county's many Rosenwald schools. Craftsman bungalows, Ranch houses, and notable examples of Modernist design enlivened county architecture during the twentieth century.

Download or read book The Architectural History of Jones County North Carolina written by Christina Moon and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many travelers have passed through Jones County over the years and remember the oak-lined streets in the county seat of Trenton, the impressive courthouse, and the old Brock Mill with its gentle overflow and cypress-covered pond. Others remember the southern homes in the towns of Maysville and Pollocksville, and the brick plantation home of the Foscue family just north of Pollocksville. Though Jones County was settled as an extension of New Bern in the early eighteenth century, it came into its own during the antebellum period with substantial plantation homes, often featuring two-story porches. The distance between these homes, set upon a flat landscape of cleared agricultural fields, and separated by the meandering Trent and White Oak rivers, pocosins, and forestlands, only added to their individual grandeur. This book offers a glimpse of these historic resources. Initiated as a countywide survey in the late 1990s, it is the culmination of years of additional fieldwork and research designed to add context to the individual buildings and agricultural structures along with a sense of the people who had inhabited them. Though many of these structures have disappeared with time, documented only through photographs and drawings, much of the rich architectural heritage of the county is still visible today. Of almost equal importance, Jones County retains its rural character, including its managed forestlands and vast open landscapes of cultivated fields of cotton, tobacco, corn, and soybeans. It is our sincere hope that The Architectural History of Jones County, North Carolina will provide readers with a deeper appreciation of the rich and diversified heritage of this unique county in the southeastern coastal plain of North Carolina.

Download or read book North Carolina Architecture written by Catherine W. Bishir and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This award-winning, lavishly illustrated history displays the wide range of North Carolina's architectural heritage, from colonial times to the beginning of World War II. North Carolina Architecture addresses the state's grand public and private buildings that have become familiar landmarks, but it also focuses on the quieter beauty of more common structures: farmhouses, barns, urban dwellings, log houses, mills, factories, and churches. These buildings, like the people who created them and who have used them, are central to the character of North Carolina. Now in a convenient new format, this portable edition of North Carolina Architecture retains all of the text of the original edition as well as hundreds of halftones by master photographer Tim Buchman. Catherine Bishir's narrative analyzes construction and design techniques and locates the structures in their cultural, political, and historical contexts. This extraordinary history of North Carolina's built world presents a unique and valuable portrait of the state.

This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lee County, North Carolina, Community Facilities Plan, Public Improvements Program Historically, the primary purpose of counties was to serve State purposes and functions in a given area rather than to serve the purposes of a particular geographic com munity. Counties are creatures of the state, created to carry out state policy and having no powers other than those expressly authorized by the state. Many tradi tional county activities such as education, courts, and administrative functions are performed under legislative mandate. The General Assembly has directed counties to provide these services. Many more recent county services such as fire protection, libraries, hospitals, and recrea tion are provided with legislative approval at the disere tion of individual counties and voters therein. These often require approval of special tax levies or bond issues by vote of the people. The General Assembly makes two kinds of laws: general laws which apply state-wide and local or special laws which apply within named counties or cities. A special law passed by the 1967 General Assembly authorizes the adoption and enforcement of minimum housing standards in Lee County.
