Leah Jones Handal, a local author and city guide, presents a fresh approach to one of the key titles in the Pavilion Books series. Charlotte, North Carolina is one of the most popular destinations on the East Coast. The city retains its 19th-century charm, despite the wars and natural disasters it has endured.

Leah Jones Handal narrates the story of Charlotte through photo archives combined with contemporary shots. Included are vintage photographs of the great plantations and imposing buildings of Meeting Street, as well as the city's many churches. Some of the classic mansions, like the Miles Brewton House, have been preserved, and although trams no longer run on Broad Street, the area remains recognizable from a century ago.

Leah Jones Handal has uncovered a treasure of vintage images that have been juxtaposed with contemporary photographs, revealing new aspects of this fascinating city. Pages: 144, Dimensions: 28.5x28.5cm
