Founded in 1939, Preservation North Carolina (PNC) is North Carolina's only private nonprofit statewide historic preservation organization. Its mission is to protect and promote buildings, landscapes and sites important to the diverse heritage of North Carolina.
PNC has been involved in a number of programs and activities. Through its award-winning Endangered Properties Program, PNC has acquired endangered historic properties and then found purchasers to rehabilitate them. Since the early 1980s PNC has been an ally of the North Carolina Main Street program. Since the late 1980s, PNC has worked to find adaptive uses for dozens of abandoned historic schools. In 1997 PNC advocacy efforts led to the creation of rehabilitation tax credits by the NC General Assembly. In 2006, legislation for an additional incentive to rehabilitate historic mills and industrial buildings was enacted.
Among Preservation NC's other activities are the operation of two major museum properties (the Bellamy Mansion in Wilmington and Ayr Mount in Hillsborough), awards, workshops, publications, legislative advocacy, and public education (such as heritage education materials for 8th grade classrooms).

Preservation North Carolina periodically acquired documentation on historic North Carolina buildings, and some of those materials are in this colledtion. Included are blueprint drawings of El Nido house in Shelby, NC (1920s). The Caviness House materials (1910s-1920s) are now filed in this collection but were originally accessioned into the North Carolina Buildings Collection (MC 00225).
The materials are arranged in the order received. This collection has not yet received full archival processing.

The Gibbs House, also known as El Nido (Spanish for "the Nest") is an extremely rare example of a Spanish Mission/California style bungalow in North Carolina. The house was built from plans obtained from the Aurelius-Swanson Company of Oklahoma City in 1921 for physician Emmett Wyattman Gibbs (1873-1952), his wife Maude Sams Gibbs (1888-1969) and their daughter Evelyn Ray Gibbs (1914-). The house is located at 520 West Warren Street in Shelby, North Carolina.

The eclectic Caveness Residence, designed by H.P.S. Keller, shows the influence of several architectural styles prevalent in the early 20th century. The rectilinear massing, with low hip roof and center dormer, is typical of the "American four-square," while its horizontal orientation, brick belt banding and stone trimmed terrace suggest the influence of the Prairie school of architecture. The buff brick construction and wide overhanging eaves link the house to Spanish colonial revival or "Mediterranean" styles also popular at the time. The Colonial revival is evident in the neoclassical exterior cornice and interior details. The rear kitchen wing features a gambrel roof, found on many Dutch colonial revival houses of the period.
Contained here are preliminary drawings (ca. 1925) for a new residence in a style variously described as "manoir," "French eclectic", and "Norman Revival." Characteristic features include stone and half-timbered construction, a high pitched hip roof, and classical treatment of the main entryway. These materials were originally accessioned into the North Carolina Buildings Collection (MC 00225).
(working drawings on 10 sheets) : vintage blueprints (some hand colored with pencil) ; 36 x 21 in. Scale varies.
(preliminary plans and elevation on 3 sheets) : pencil and colored pencil on tracing paper ; various sizes. Scale: 1/8 in = 1 ft.
Collection is open for research; access requires at least 48 hours advance notice.
