Abstract:

Henry Bacon, the notable architect who designed the Lincoln Memorial, also had deep roots in North Carolina. Having spent eight years of his childhood in Wilmington, Bacon returned to the area often during his lifetime, designing a number of homes for residents of Wilmington as well as several buildings in Linville, which the late Hugh MacRae began developing as a summer resort in 1891. Bacon died on February 16, 1924 and was buried in Wilmington.

Abstract:

Wilmington native Henry Bacon was responsible for designing the Lincoln Memorial and, on a smaller scale, for creating a distinct log cabin style within the state. The Linville style, named for the town of Linville, is a distinct style of mountain cabins, cottages, and churches which uses chestnut bark shingles. The article offers a brief biography of Bacon's life and how his background and life in North Carolina influenced the 'Linville design.'
