Lost Hickory: A Compendium of Vanished Landmarks

Lost Hickory: A Compendium of Vanished Landmarks is an illustrated compilation of architecturally and historically significant buildings in Hickory that are no longer standing. The period covered is 1885-1935. Skillfully presented by author and local historian Leslie Keller, this book is certain to become the definitive reference for the built environment of Hickory's past. Regardless of fire, neglect, or urban renewal readers can appreciate the value of historic preservation by reflecting on the loss of these treasures. Over 150 photographic images are included from the Hickory Landmarks Society's archives and private collections.
