Abstract:
Factories that were the backbone of the tobacco industry in Durham closed in 1987. For almost two decades, the sixteen-acre property with nine buildings and over one million square feet of space declined into dilapidated warehouses with sagging roofs and broken windows. The buildings represent some of Durham's finest architecture. The Capitol Broadcasting Company and its chief executive officer, Jim Goodmon, have begun a $200 million project, which is the largest historical renovation in the history of North Carolina. Lea discusses the history and architecture of the area and the restoration project.

Abstract:
The home was a synthesis of South Carolina Low Country (as evident by the characteristic wraparound porch) and Caribbean architecture (reflected in the second floor bedrooms). Located on Hatteras Island, the home that was never meant to be just a vacation house was the brainchild of the new owners. As noted by the author, the couple’s background in residential development and horticulture inspired the unique blend of architectural styles.
