Abstract:

Occupying his first office in the Beauford Hotel, on the corner of Fourth and Tryon Streets in Charlotte, Charles C. Hook began his career as an enthusiastic architect for hire on 4 July 1892. Hook's son, Walter, was worked in the same trade, either leading or assisting with several projects statewide, including work on at least 250 different hospitals. In addition, Walter Hook designed several schools in Charlotte and Johnston County, as well as the Gastonia Post office, the Charlotte YMCA, the Charlotte Municipal Airport Terminal, and the North Carolina National Bank Building. Inspired by the works of Eliel Saarinen, a Finnish architect, Hook served as a fellow in the American Institute of Architects, and has held the most offices in the same North Carolina chapter of the organization.

Abstract:

At the Ocunaluftee Indian Village, in Cherokee, North Carolina, costumes, dwellings, and skills, are demonstrated exactly how they were 200 years ago, when the Cherokee freely roamed the Great Smokey Mountains. Opened in 1952 and assisted by archaeologists from the universities of Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, the living museum has had nearly one million visitors and continues to grow in significance, teaching interested visitors details of Cherokee life prior to relocation and subjugation.

Abstract:

The \"Carolina Room,\" designed by I. Scott, was originally the parlor of a home built in 1836, by Colonel Alexander Shaw, near Wagram, in Scotland County. The room is part of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Arts Collection and part of a touring anthology, that now resides in Colonial Williamsburg, a representative example of art and decor from the early 19th-century.
