Tucked into the mountains of Western North Carolina, Transylvania ranks as one of the state's most scenic counties. The rugged mountainous terrain, vast forest, tumbling waterfalls, and tranquil river valleys that define Transylvania's physical character have also shaped its history. Transylvania: The Architectural History of a Mountain County tells the story of the ties that bind the county's natural resources and history as seen through its built environment. The generously illustrated text provides both an overview of Transylvania's architectural history and a township-by-township catalog of over two hundred of the county's finest and most representative historic properties. Supporting the text are a glossary of architectural terms, a bibliography of sources for further study, and an index.
