From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leslie N. Boney Sr. (1880–1964)[1] was an American architect who focused on schools. He designed approximately 1,000 schools or additions to schools, and his works appear in 51 of North Carolina's 100 counties.[1]
He partnered with William J. Wilkins during 1919 to 1920.
A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[2]
His sons, Charlie Boney and Leslie N. Boney Jr. were also architects who had an important role in the modernist movement of North Carolina in the mid-1900s.[3]
