Summary:

"The Town and Gown Architecture of Chapel Hill, the first architectural study of the whole town, distills the published works on campus architecture and a series of never-published surveys of town buildings through the filter of alumna and architectural historian Ruth Little's personal experience. It introduces first-time visitors to the magic of Chapel Hill's built environment and deepens the appreciation of those who are already acquainted with the town's charms. A series of maps enable visitors to take walking tours through the campus, along the village streets, and deep inside historic neighborhoods."--Jacket.
