ENTIRE MASTER OF HIS PROFESSION""""; ""Epilogue""; ""Notes""; ""Bibliography""; ""Index"";"The Architecture of William Nichols is the first comprehensive biography and monograph of a significant yet over-looked architect in the American South. William Nichols designed three major university campuses--the University of North Carolina, the University of Alabama, and the University of Mississippi. He also designed the first state capitols of North Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. Nichols's architecture profoundly influenced the built landscape of the South but due to fire, neglect, and demolition, much of his work was lost and history has nearly forgotten his tremendous legacy. In his research onsite and through archives in North Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, Paul Hardin Kapp has produced a narrative of the life and times of William Nichols that weaves together the elegant work of this architect with the aspirations and challenges of the antebellum South. It is richly illustrated with over two hundred archival photographs and drawings from the Historic American Building Survey"--Provided by publisher.ArchitectureSouthern StatesSouthern StatesHistory1775-1865Electronic books.Architecture720.92Kapp Paul Hardin901720Sanders ToddSeale WilliamMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459800903321The architecture of William Nichols2265867UNINA
