Numerous black and white photos of churches and other places of worship in the Carolinas. The pictures in the book come from the Historical American Building Survey in the Library of Congress. Most are from the 30's & 40's and were sponsored by the government similar to the WPA. Wonderful architecture throughout the book. I found myself getting out a magnifying glass as some of the details were so fine or the picture was so far away. This would certainly not deter me from this book however. Was interesting to see the different styles of interiors and exteriors. Greek Revival, Very Gothic, a round church is featured. Spires that reach for the sky one that is 19 stories high. Another spire that fell during a hurricane and embedded itself in the ground, where the author states it still remains, but not pictured however. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
This collection of images from the Historic American Buildings Survey, an effort to catalogue and document the architecture and building culture of America, captures the holiness and haunting beauty of over fifty sacred grounds in South Carolina. Through his selection of these photographs, William P. Baldwin attests to the awe that each site inspires and proves that,as they evoke that better, that sober and gentler angel of ourselves, they are indeed sacred places.
