Building Mitchelstown, 1779-1830
Mitchelstown in Co. Cork was one of over 750 Irish towns built or remodelled between 1690 and 1840. Its regular street plan, linear building plots and uniform architecture epitomized the enlightened and improving mentality of the period. The town was largely built over a period of fifty years between 1779 and 1830, at a time of significant national and local economic expansion, creating opportunities for investors and builders to develop and speculate. This study examines not only the ambitions and influence of the proprietorial family, the Kings, earls of Kingston, who initiated the reconstruction of the town, but also those who engaged in building and developing it. These professionals, shopkeepers, clergymen and others had as much influence on its architecture and realization as had the proprietors.

Edmund Sexten Pery
Edmund Sexten Pery was one of the great Irish parliamentarians of the eighteenth century. His political career, as a prominent patriot in the 1750s and 1760s and later as Speaker of the Irish House of Commons between 1771 and 1785, ensured that he was at the heart of political life and government in Ireland. Pery's prominent role in shaping patriot ideology and the hidden part he played in securing ' Free Trade' in 1779 and legislative independence in 1782 is explored in this biography, as are the successes and failures of the economic and urban projects he championed.

Ensley and Tuxedo Junction
With dreams of building a vast steel production operation, Memphis planter Enoch Ensley founded a city in the wooded valley at the heart of Jefferson County, Alabama. He named the city Ensley, after himself, and established the Ensley Land Company to acquire and develop 4,000 acres for industrial facilities and a town. As field workers left their farms to work in steel mills and businesses sprang up on the valley floor, Ensley became a diverse place of hopes and desires. A strong community of churches, businesses, civic clubs, and neighborhoods developed around the factories and railroads. Jazz music was the social thread of Ensley's African American community, known as Tuxedo Junction. Musicians such as Erskine Hawkins famously mastered the style. The annexation of Ensley into Birmingham established the Magic City as the largest and wealthiest in Alabama and the heart of the Southern steel manufacturing economy.
