Abstract:
Henry Bacon introduced an architectural design that transformed a town that investors like Donald MacRae envisioned as a mining and timber hub. Courtesy of bark shingled buildings, that Smith notes defines the town, Linville became a resort and retreat mecca. Evidence of the style’s enduring appeal can be seen in All Saints Episcopal Church and Eseeola Lodge.
