Abstract:

Chapel Hill has been known for its charm and beauty since 1795, when the town was selected as the home of the nation's first public university. Over the past two centuries the town has managed to escape the ravages of urban growth which has changed the look of so many American cities. Lea discusses the town's \"carefully preserved built environment.\"
