The Charlotte Vestal Brown Wainwright Papers, 1767-1990, include correspondence, photographs, research notes, transcriptions, and blueprints. Material was gathered by Charlotte Vestal Brown Wainwright for her study of the practice of building in North Carolina between 1865 and 1945 and includes information on the administration of the grant project, photographs and manuscripts from the book written by Brown, as well as research and reference files used in the project.
Charlotte Vestal Brown Wainwright was born on June 3, 1942. She received a B.A. in modern European history from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and her Ph.D. in art history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. An assistant professor of art at Duke University from 1971 to 1979, Wainwright was curator of art at North Carolina State University from 1982 to 1985, and became director of the Visual Arts Center at North Carolina State University in 1985. This later became the Gregg Museum of Art and Design. From 1980 to 1990, she also led a four-scholar team on a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities that studied the people and practices behind North Carolina architecture. She retired from NC State University in 2009.
The Charlotte Vestal Brown Wainwright Papers, 1767-1990, include correspondence, photographs, research notes, transcriptions, reference citations, photocopies from a variety of primary sources, and blueprint copies of the Asheville Coca-Cola Bottling Plant. The collection consists of research and reference files from Brown's study of the practice of building in North Carolina between 1865 and 1945. This research project was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and resulted in the publication of Architects and Builders in North Carolina: A History of the Practice of Building in 1990.
The collection is divided into three major series:

Processed by C. David Jackson and Edith Woodcock, 1996 December; Encoded by Katherine M. Wisser
The collection is organized into four principal series:
Contains correspondence, grant reports, and notes relating to the ABNC project. Correspondence documents the application and administration of the NEH grant, and publication of the final manuscript by the University of North Carolina Press in 1990. Also includes photographs and manuscript drafts for chapters five and six of the book (those written by Dr. Brown).
This series contains clippings, notes, transcriptions, photocopies, and bibliographic references for Brown's study of architects and builders in North Carolina between 1865 and 1945. This series offers documentation on such topics as the emergence of the American Institute of Architects in North Carolina, licensing acts, contracts, architectural schools, building materials, pattern books, mill villages, and resorts. It also includes a subseries of city and county profiles. Brown's original order has been preserved.
Initially, the publication of Architects and Builders in North Carolina was to include a biographical dictionary of active architects and builders in North Carolina. However, the authors uncovered so many individuals that it became too voluminous to include in one volume. Therefore the biographical dictionary was to be a separate publication. These files reflect the initial research and draft entries for the second volume. The files document chiefly twentieth-century architects and builders and include clippings, notes, draft entries, and reference citations. There are some photographs and correspondence relating to authors for these entries.
