About This Book
Generously illustrated with color photographs, maps, and drawings, Creating the South Carolina State House offers an unprecedented look at the construction and renovation of South Carolina's most important government structure. Prompted to research the building by its restoration between 1995 and 1998, John M. Bryan witnessed every stage of excavation, demolition, and rebuilding.
He draws largely on these observations and on archival sources - including diaries, letters, and other contemporaneous writings - to offer fresh insights into the design and construction of the South Carolina State House and into the often controversial symbolism attached to the building.
