Golden Coast books on classic Southern cities chronicle the social and cultural histories of each locale as expressed and revealed through architecture. All are lavishly produced in full color and blend archival and contemporary illustrations with provocative scholarship and charming anecdotes. Each volume features an exclusive, spell-binding portfolio tour of homes and gardens, illustrating how the ever-present Old South awareness of the past is often mixed with resourceful accommodations for modern living. The array of sizes, styles, and taste that unfolds within the portfolios provides a beautiful testament to the vigor and variety of Southern home-building.
