Architecture of the Last Colony Book Launch
Congratulations to Mark McDonald, editor, and the authors who contributed to the new book Architecture of the Last Colony! They had a book launch at the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation earlier this week.
In the image above, Mark introduces the book and provides a brief overview of its chapters before introducing additional speakers. The book is more a celebration of preservation - it’s a series of preservation stories that happen to involve some wonderful examples of architecture across the State of Georgia.
Grouping the contents by era makes it easier to see the progress of development in Georgia from early buildings in Savannah to modern buildings. The section on historic landscapes is also welcome as so many of the celebrated homes are tied to their communities through gardens and landscaping.
The book is beautifully crafted with color images and maps… each worth a thousand words. It’s a new book that would make a great gift, especially for those interested in understanding the architecture of Georgia in its historical context. We will study it with great interest and look forward to using it as a reference.
Mark McDonald is embarking on a book tour to introduce the book to the public and explain its importance. You can find more details, including locations and dates on the website of the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.
We offer thanks and gratitude to all who contributed to the publication of this book!
