Download or read book Wilmington written by Beverly Tetterton and published by DRAM Tree Books. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With hundreds of rare pictures, this award-winning volume captures the many architectural gems that North Carolina's Port City has lost from the colonial period to the present day. Some were lost to natural disasters like fires and hurricanes. Others fell victim to the "progress" of Urban Renewal or the sometimes short-sightedness of private developers. Regardless of how or why these buildings were torn down and lost, they represent pages ripped from the community's collective history. Preservationist Beverly Tetterton has assembled a collection of lost places that serve as cautionary tales for modern planners and citizens.
