Title: Along the banks of the old Northeast
Description: A comprehensive study of a unique architectural landscape shaped by a past little known before now except by a few. This is the first book to consider Duplin's economic, social, and cultural history and the historic buildings these forces created. From the modest coastal cottages, whose uncommon form is tied to the climate of the region, the grand Greek Revival homes constructed for the county's elite in the years before the Civil War, to the towns the railroad built and the farms where the naval stores industry and tobacco once reigned, Duplin's architecture tells the story of county and her people with over 460 photographs and illustrations that offer an unexpected view of Duplin's special places.
Subjects: Architecture, Historic buildings, Local History
