I do enjoy local history and find it enjoyable to read. After reading this I would definitely love to see the place. It is quite apparent that the author is emotionally invested in the place and that I found pleasant. It is mostly a bunch of data collection. I would have probably switched chapters around and ended with her own personal experience. Lastly the works cited part of the book is very thorough but almost overwhelming, perhaps a smaller font would be more appealing. Much of it is internet research, but I have to admit I used the internet to follow up on several things I had never heard of. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Paperback is only available on the official website: www.barclayhotelhistory.comHave you ever wanted to know the stories of the people who have lived in your home before you...or the people who have died in it? Journey through the eerily quiet halls of this 120-year-old hotel in the heart of downtown Los Angeles and learn the stories of its past visitors. Over the decades' misinformation and urban legends have arisen regarding the many suicides, murders, fires, and mysterious accidental deaths that have occurred in this building. One crime was just as, if not more, brutal and savage as the Black Dahlia murder. Police reports, newspaper articles, coroner's reports, and the like were uncovered and the truth of each of the over one dozen fatalities that occurred in the Barclay Hotel has- for the first time-been brought to the surface in one complete collection. Although this hotel has a troubled past, it also has historical significance. It was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #288 by The Cultural Heritage Commission. You will be left with a comprehensive knowledge of this iconic hotel including what movies were filmed there over the years and noteworthy people who have been its guests. Travel back to old-time Los Angeles and get a sense of what it was like to be a guest at the hotel during its glory days. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
