Book Reviews of L A Lost & Found: An Architectural History of Los Angeles (California Architecture & Architects)

Book Review: Celebrating the rich legacy of architecture in Los Angeles
Summary: 4 Stars

This is an extraordinary collection of images and information that effectively chronicles Los Angeles' ongoing architectural legacy.

The title refers to the achievements already lost (in a physical sense), such as the famous Dodge House, to those that should be or must be recognized as landmarks, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House and Ennis-Brown House, as well as the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Greenacres mansion, to The Crystal Cathedral and Union Station. Structures encompassed by a liberal extension of Los Angeles' metro area throughout southern California are also included.

Hopefully, future editions of this book will include larger photographs, more color photographs, and a full index for easier reference to the specific contents.
