Additional Information
Following his early forays into the form, Albert Ruger partnered with J.J. Stoner to form the imprint Ruger & Stoner that produced this stunning depiction of Greensboro in the decade before the turn of the twentieth century. By the 1890s, Greensboro had rebuilt its industrial and milling facilities and was enjoying a period of significant growth and prosperity. By 1900 the city was considered the center of the Southern textile industry. Significant numbers of immigrants flocked to the town, establishing neighborhoods and communities along cultural lines, many of which exist to this day. During this period, several architecturally significant civic buildings were completed, which remain popular attractions.
Birdseye perspectives were widely popular during the nineteenth century and bear a signature style and distinctive aesthetic that immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. Ruger & Stoner were pioneers of the style, which served to attract residents and merchants alike by promoting prominent civic buildings, religious and educational institutions, and economic opportunities. This panoramic map depicts the city in a transitional time as it grew from a village to an important economic and cultural hub for the region.
As the nation neared the turn of the century, considerable technological and cultural transformations shaped American society. The Gilded Age created substantial economic growth, and Greensboro became one of the South's most important and noted cities. Greensboro also developed as a significant educational center for the State and is home to two major public research facilities.
