Regional History Friday: The Architecture of Rowan County, North Carolina

Settled- briefly- by the Spanish in the 1500s, and a North Carolina county since 1753, Rowan has a long and varied architectural history. Henry Bemis Books is pleased to offer one of the best regional building histories we have seen:

An encyclopedic survey of the structures of this western North Carolina County. Hardcover, unclipped dust jacket, very good condition. Folio size, 434 pp. HBB price: $75.
