From the book's jacket: “The history of Oak Ridge, North Carolina, is as varied as the livelihoods of its residents. Successful businessmen, scholars, merchants, and farmers all lived and worked here in an architectural patchwork of homes and businesses including Quaker, Neoclassical, Craftsman, Queen Anne, and National Folk styles. Oak Ridge's Historic District features many memorable structures from the early 17th century to about 1945, but such gems can be found throughout the community. This volume features Oak Ridge's grand historic buildings as well as its vernacular structures and open land, all of which are vital to its continuing history...(and) is designed to offer longtime residents, newcomers, and visitors a new avenue for exploring historic Oak Ridge.”
