__NOTOC__ Boylan Heights is a historic neighborhood in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district on July 29, 1985. It is also one of six local Historic Overlay Districts in Raleigh. Boylan Heights has been explored in the book ''Everything Sings: Maps for a Narrative Atlas ''by resident and critical cartographer Denis Wood, which maps the neighborhood in unusual ways. In the introduction to the book, Wood writes that these maps explore "other ways of thinking about (Heights ) . . . as some sort of community, or as a marriage of community and place, or as ''those ''people in ''that ''place, ''their ''relationships, and ''their'' ways in the world . . . a life process." Maps include the location of jack-o'-lanterns on porches, radio waves permeating the air, the light from street lamps, and other attributes of Boylan Heights that cannot be mapped in a traditional way. The national historic district encompasses 252 contributing buildings and was developed between about 1907 and 1935. It includes notable examples of Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Bungalow / American Craftsman style architecture. Its name was used for the 1987 album ''Boylan Heights'' by The Connells. There is a restaurant named after the district in the The Corner neighborhood of Charlottesville, Virginia. ==Notable structures== *Montfort Hall, built for William Montfort Boylan in 1858 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boylan Heights (Raleigh, North Carolina)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
