Last July, a group of relic collectors were caught stealing three cannons from Fort Branch, a Civil War fort on the Roanoke River near Hamilton. The incident led to the installation of a new security light and considerable interest in the old fort and cannons. This article discusses restoration efforts at the fort, and local citizens’ opinions on security measures.

Abstract:

Over the years many of the state's fine old homes and buildings with genuine historic value have been demolished and in their place are motels, stores, office buildings, or parking lots. The question is how can the past be preserved when progress needs the space? One answer is adaptive use, or using the buildings for a purpose otherwise intended.

Abstract:

The Garden Club of North Carolina's agenda for 1939 was to encourage restoration of historic homes. The objective was to find and document appropriate homes and then encourage buyers to invest in and preserve the buildings. One of the club's efforts was the restoration of the Jacob Stiewalt House, an 1821 example of neo-classic architecture.
