Designing The Cityscape, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts

Sharing Ideas For A Better City, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts

Farewell To The Bucklin Bldg., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts

Smolski Texts
"A large downtown is normally characterized by tall buildings because demand in this most accessible location is strong, with intensive use of the land being the result.

Smolski Texts

His friend and well-known leader in the civil rights movement also had a dream--a dream to build a new town in which the injustices of society would be lessened. Today, in the rolling farmland country of North Carolina, Floyd McKissick is working to fulfill his long sought dream."
