American Tobacco history over at Endangered Durham

Gary's been on a tear of late with a very though-provoking week of posts over at the Endangered Durham blog. But he's outdone himself today with an incredibly in-depth write-up of the historic past and renovated present of the American Tobacco factory district in downtown Durham.

I know most BCR readers also read Endangered Durham -- one of the real cornerstones of the Durham blogosphere -- but in case you don't, be sure to check out this post. The beautiful black-and-white photographs are worth the cost of admission alone; the topsy-turvy history of how the complex came to be renovated, after several false starts, is a useful background for anyone not familiar with the history of downtown Durham's most successful renovation to date.
