About this book
Colonial Homes in North Carolina is by John V. Allcott. The booklet says it will be useful to focus on the architecture of the earlier 18th century and see the simple, vigorous ideas of this period. The text says the buildings are made of brick, stone, or wood, and are large and small, plain or fancy in one way or another. The text gives as a reason for such diversity that the colonists, coming from different foreign countries and settlements in America, brought with them differing ideas about what a building should look like and how it should be constructed.
The text says the Cupola House has been praised as the finest framed Jacobean house in the South. The text says a few early 18th-century brick houses remain in North Carolina, and that the Jordan farm house, near Windsor, thought to have been built in 1713, is one of the earliest of these houses.
