    On a Sunday morning that was more rainy than drizzly, I stopped by the Rowan County Courthouse in…read moreSalisbury with umbrella deployed and it immediately felt like one of those buildings that deserves a slow walk even in bad weather. Rowan County was formed in 1753 and named for Mtthew Rowan, the acting governor of North Carolina, and Salisbury has served as the county seat from the start. The city's name comes from Salisbury in England, a choice that fit the British roots of the early settlers who laid out the town in the mid 1700s. The current courthouse went up in 1914 and was designed by Frank Pierce Milburn, and at this point I feel like I am on a Milburn tour of the South since I have seen so many of his works from Reidsville's courthouse just yesterday to Wilkes County's courthouse in Washington Georgia and even Wise County Courthouse in Virginia! Milburn's Rowan County Courthouse leans fully into the Classical Revival look with tall columns, a balanced facade, and the kind of stone and proportion that make a civic building feel grounded and permanent. Even with the rain coming down, the details stood out, and the place has that familiar Milburn mix of formality and approachability that shows up across his portfolio. Walking the grounds with the streets quiet and the pavement wet made it easy to appreciate how well the building sits on its corner and how it still carries the weight of a county seat that has been here since colonial days. [Review 640 of 2026 - 4728 in North Carolina - 25821 overall] [Rowan County is number 78 of my quest to visit all 100 North Carolina County Courthouses. See https://www.yelp.com/collection/bgSlwoF6jU6MHqVx1fJ_oA/.]

Judge refused to admit evidence proving the point. Not unlike other counties - but their procedures do not make for a positive experience unless you are the one getting away with criminal activity.

    This marker is under a tree and so it's not in great condition. It's also hard to read if you're…read morezipping by. I was able to park in the nearby church lot and walk over. The marker reads, "Whig general, was killed at Cowan's Ford, Feb. 1, 1781. Davidson College and Davidson County are named for him." Davidson College: https://www.yelp.com/biz/davidson-college-davidson Online, as is usual with North Carolina's brief markers, there is more information. "William Lee Davidson, for whom both Davidson County and of Davidson College are named, was born in 1746 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the son of George Davidson, an Irish immigrant. William's mother apparently died in childbirth, and George Davidson joined the migration from Pennsylvania to the Piedmont of North Carolina, eventually settling along Davidson's Creek in Iredell County. When his father died in 1760, William was placed under the care of Alexander Osborn and John Brevard, two of the wealthiest men in the area. Under their patronage, Davidson attended Sugaw Creek Academy near Charlotte and studied under Alexander Craighead. In 1767, Davidson married Mary Brevard, John's daughter, and sister of Ephraim Brevard, one of the authors of the Mecklenburg Resolves." "On February 1, 1781, Davidson's militia forces attempted to delay Cornwallis's crossing of the Catawba River at Cowan's Ford. His men held against a vastly numerical superior force until Davidson fell dead from multiple gunshots." "Davidson's death was much lamented in the American ranks. Described as the "chief instrument relied upon by Greene for the assemblage of the militia," Davidson was remembered as "a man of popular manners, pleasing address, active and indefatigable." His pistols, sword, and wallet were taken by British forces and given to Cornwallis after the skirmish. They are on display at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park in Greensboro." Quite the Continental hero. Much respect. [Review 13393 overall, 712 of 2020.]
