Building My Charlotte

I am very excited to begin work on my group's online exhibit "Building My Charlotte".  This exhibit will be all about architecture in Charlotte featuring extraordinary architects of the early 1900's.  My particular architect, Charles Christian Hook, not only designed houses, but many commercial use buildings including train stations, garages, and fire stations.  He also designed the famous Carolina Theater and the first Charlotte city hall.  His designs have more of a Gothic influence, added character to these everyday buildings.  He was also a very interesting person which I will delve into at a later date.  I was fortunate to run into a former master student in special collections who actually used CC Hook in his Master Thesis.  He gave be tons of information on who to talk to a where to go for more research.  It was awesome running into to someone with such a wealth of information to offer me, which will no doubt help with my part of our project.
With our group contract, I am confident that we will exceed our goal at making this project fun and interesting for people to look at.  Two other architects are going to be featured as well as a social aspect showing Mary Boyer's architectural postcards featuring some of these architects designs.  Each member is responsible for at least ten items in the exhibit, which will no doubt, be exceeded which the wealth of information in the library.  Thanks to Jill, we have set up a vigorous timeline of milestones we need to reach throughout the semesters, allow us to develop the exhibit in a smooth and timely manner.
I am thrilled to have such great teammates who are just as invested in this project as I am.  I know we will turn out a wonderful project that will appeal to many people interested in Charlotte's architectural history.
