John Linley papers
|
Requires cookie* |
| |
Creator: |
Linley, John |
|
| |
Dates: |
1965-1972 |
|
| |
Contents: |
The collection consists of background material for Linley's Architecture of Middle Georgia: The Oconee Area (Athens : Univerity
of Georgia Press, 1972), house survey reports, manuscript notes, various states of typescript and publisher's proofs, correspondence,
press releases, and advertising material giving great insight into the development of an important book on Georgia architecture.
Architecture in middle Georgia has become a classic work of detailed scholarship and research in both the architectural features
of middle Georgia and the sociological and historical implications as well. From 1807 to 1869 Milledgeville was the capital
of Georgia, and many superb examples of antebellum architecture are still to be found there in Baldwin County and in the surrounding
counties of the Oconee area - Hancock, Jasper, Johnson, Putnam, Washington, and Wilkinson.
