Abstract:
North of Chapel Hill on State Route 86 is what looks like a group of small, white, stone doghouses on the side of the road. About twenty structures form White Rock Village, and they are all the work of one man, Henry Warren. White Rock Village is an intriguing and impressive work of folk art, drawing considerable attention to his use of available materials and traditions patterns of stonemasonry.

Abstract:
A group of new pictorial material has surfaced from the record books of the Bannan, Fries and Hobday families, all of which were drawn by an unidentified artist in Winchester, Virginia during the early nineteenth century. Stylistic patterns in the artist’s design and calligraphy indicate German influence from Virginia, Maryland, and the piedmont regions of North and South Carolina.
