Fairhope - Paperback

by Gabriel Gold-Vukson (Author), Alan Samry (Author)

Fairhope, Alabama, was founded on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay in 1894 as a social experiment. The pioneers applied the single-tax principle and economic philosophy found in Henry George's 1879 book Progress and Poverty. The city of Fairhope was established in 1908 inside and around the colony, known today as the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation. This book celebrates the timeless Fairhope bay views and historic buildings and homes.
