Reviews
"For decades the study of American art and architecture has seen the South long overshadowed by attention on the Northeast; and when the South is studied, communities in Virginia, along with Charleston and New Orleans, tend to command most scholars' attention. This volume makes a valuable contribution to remedying the neglect of Georgia within studies of the Southern built environment."" —Robin B. Williams, College Art Association Reviews"
