Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book unearths the history of a forgotten railroad structure in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, hidden for decades beneath an asphalt parking lot. Archaeological excavations undertaken in 2007 uncovered the remains of a 19th-century building along with layers of artifacts and structural details that tell the story of Raleigh's railroading past. The author sets the stage with a detailed historical account drawn from maps, documents, and archival research, followed by the methods and challenges faced during the salvage excavation. Through careful analysis of the remains, the book reveals insights into construction techniques, building use, and even potential use patterns of the various iterations of the structure, culminating in the construction of the extant Seaboard Coastline Building. It provides a glimpse into the little-known history of railroading and the industrial development of North Carolina, unraveling the layers of the past beneath the surface of a modern city.
