Daws sees the study of architecture and Fayetteville's history as closely related. "Fayetteville was a colonial inland port located at the head of navigation on the Cape Fear River," he explained. "Our history and architecture help us speak to that. e preservation of historical properties is a quality-of-life issue. Our old buildings and homes define our character and are a tangible link to the past." Luckily for us, many structures in Fayetteville provide this bridge. Both the residential and historic districts reflect a wide range of architecture from the upright box shapes of the Federal period (late 1700s to early 1800s) to mid-20th century examples. What you won't find, due to several fires, including the 1831 inferno that destroyed hundreds of downtown buildings, are many remaining structures from the Revolutionary War and colonial timeframe. But a few well-preserved examples can be seen on Dick Street, at a compound owned by the Heritage Square Historical Society. ey include the Federal-style Sandford House; the Oval Ballroom, an example of Regency architecture; and the Baker-Haigh-Nimocks House, an example of Georgian architecture. ere's also Liberty Row, a group of 14 brick buildings on the north side of Person Street, so named due to events at Liberty Point in June of 1775. ese buildings reflect vernacular Federal, Italianate and Romanesque Revival architecture. Finally, the Federal-style Cool Spring Tavern, erected in 1788, is believed to be the oldest existing structure in the city.
