About This Item
Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1967. Hardcover. VG- (Slightly aged overall, still nice.). Teal cloth, gilt letters on spine, tan & illus. paper dust jacket, 145 pp., 66 BW illus. "Although Moravian customs and culture are discussed when they have a direct relation to the style of a building or the arrangement of a town, this work is primarily a study of the distinctive Moravian architectural style and the rigidly controlled development of the villages. Particular emphasis is given to Bethlehem because its buildings are the purest expression of Moravian thought and Germanic background erected in this country. Salem, North Carolina, has a comparable group of buildings, but they were constructed later and are therefore farther removed from European prototypes in style and time." (dj).
