Abstract:
Although largely forgotten in North Carolina history apart from a public park in his honor, Hugh MacRae (1865-1951) was an urban businessman who fostered economic opportunity and development, especially as related to southern farmers. After graduating from MIT, McRae returned to Wilmington in 1892 where he later consolidated gas, railway, light and power interests and promoted the development of several suburban communities. He later shifted his attention to the development of truck farms and model communities in southeastern North Carolina and the transformation of rural life through small-scale, intensive farming practices.

Abstract:
Hugh MacRae Morton, famed photographer, had an appreciation of the area around Grandfather Mountain perhaps more akin to individuals like John Muir, co-founder of the Sierra Club. As for Morton's grandfather and former owner of Grandfather Mountain, Hugh McRae, his appreciation of the region leaned more toward development than conservation, as demonstrated by his ownership of Linville Improvement Company.

Abstract:
Henry Bacon introduced an architectural design that transformed a town that investors like Donald MacRae envisioned as a mining and timber hub. Courtesy of bark shingled buildings, that Smith notes defines the town, Linville became a resort and retreat mecca. Evidence of the style’s enduring appeal can be seen in All Saints Episcopal Church and Eseeola Lodge.
