Chosen
To Attend
Session
Ava Garrett, State
Manager of Historic Eden
ton, Inc., has been chosen to
attend the Victorian Society
Summer School in London,
England for three weeks.
The course is sponsored
jointly by the Victorian
Society in America and the
British Victorian Society.
The scholarship course
will be concerned with the
history of Victorian ar
chitecture in Britain; with
some emphasis on the later
Victorian period and its in
fluences on American ar
chitecture. There will be lec
tures by some of the leading
scholars and experts in the
architecture, art and social
and religious history of the
period. These will be com
plemented by visits to many
of the major Victorian
buildings and monuments in
London and elsewhere in
England.
Ms. Garrett hopes to bring
back a better knowledge of
the Victorian world so that
she can help develop a grow
ing interest in preserving
Victorian architecture in
Edenton.
Edenton has a large
number of structures built
during the Victorian era and
Ms. Garrett would like to
see this part of Edenton's
history developed more.
Such prominent buildings as
Wessington House (1850)
and St. Anne's Church
(1857) are considered Vic
torian. Jubilee and the
Paine Houses were built
during the Victorian Age
also. '
It is the hope of Historic
Edenton's site manager to
make the people of Edenton
and the surrounding area
more aware of their total
history and architectural
range available in the town.
