Lost Cleveland is the latest in the series from Pavilion Books that traces the cherished places in a city that time, progress and fashion swept aside before the National Register of Historic Places could save them from the wrecker's ball. As well as celebrating forgotten architectural treasures, Lost Cleveland looks at buildings that have changed use, vanished under a wave of new construction or been drastically transformed.Beautiful archival photographs and informative text allows the reader to take a nostalgic journey back in time to visit some of the lost treasures that the city let slip through its grasp. Organised chronologically, starting with the earliest losses and ending with the latest, the book features much-loved Cleveland institutions that have been consigned to history. Losses include: City Hall, Diebolt Brewing Co., Luna Park, Sheriff Street Market, Hotel Winton, League Park, Union Depot, Hotel Allerton, Leo’s Casino, Cleveland Arena, Bond Store, The Hippodrome, Cuyahoga and Williamson buildings, Record Rendezvous, Standard Theatre, Hough Bakery, Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Memphis Drive-In, Parmatown Mall.
A unique visual guide to America's war between the states, told through those sites swept aside by development or decay
Take a journey through lost civil war battlefields in this photographic guide to the many historic sites that have been destroyed or become overgrown over the centuries. A companion title to the 150,000-copy-selling Civil War Battlefields Then and Now, this is a unique collection of lost Civil War heritage that features a wide range of sites, arranged thematically and illustrated with original photographs throughout.
Featured locations include:
Encampments: Over-wintering camps and winter quarters were widely photographed.
Historic buildings: Many of the original buildings were destroyed and have been rebuilt. These include the McLean House in Appomattox and the Ford Theatre in Washington DC, with many others completely destroyed.
Prisons: Those featured included Libby Prison, which was dismantled and the bricks shipped to Chicago
for the Exhibition; Andersonville Prison and Capitol Prison in Washington DC, and Castle Pinckney in Charleston Harbor.
Cycloramas: There was such an interest in seeing re-enactments of the Civil War that many cycloramas were built especially to show re-runs of Gettysburg.
Including such curiosities as a list of the longest-living Civil War veterans, the guide also features an up-to-date survey of Confederate statues and memorials and their complicated and often controversial legacy in the 21st century.
