Preservation North Carolina
announces the completion of its
fourth video production on historic
preservation,^! Work and At Play.
This one-hour program shows the
impact industrialization had on
North Carolinians at the turn of
the 20th ctentury. Filmed at six
North Carolina locations, it tells
the story of how its citizens worked
and played in this new economy
and how their architecture re
fleeted those changes. At Work and
At Play aired on UNC-TV this
spring.
A massive migration from the
backwoods to the towns took place
a generation after the Civil War.
For the first time in North
Carolina’s history, many of its citi
zens worked in factories and mills
rather than on the farm. How these
people worked and the nature of
their social networks were funda
mentally different from that of
their parents who lived in rural
isolation. The architecture was
also very different, as hand
wrought simplicity gave way to
machine-made exuberance. In
town, handsome mills, large mill
villages, picturesque homes,
churches and stores were built by
textile, tobacco and furniture en
trepreneurs.
