Description:From the slipcase:This is a richly deserved tribute to the architectural heritage of Georgia, the most ambitious and lavish book on Georgia life and history to appear in recent years. The combined genius of the late Frances Benjamin Johnston, whose artistic perception and wide experience established her as the most distinguished architectural photographer of this century, and Frederick Doveton Nichols, Professor of Architecture in the University of Virginia, creates a volume of beauty and lasting worth.The superb photographs and the carefully documented history cover for the first time the development of architecture throughout the state, from the colonial cabin to the ante-bellum mansion--for years considered the epitome of gracious living in the South. This study includes the first primitive wooden buildings, the surviving examples of early tabby construction, the splendid Federal style, the elegant urban dwellings of early nineteenth-century Savannah, the flowering of the Greek Revival, and the revivals of Gothic, Romanesque, and Italianate which flourished in the prosperity of the 1840's.
