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.
