Download or read book Hotel Ponce de Leon written by Leslee F. Keys and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic St. Augustine Research Institute William L. Proctor Award Henry Flagler's opulent Hotel Ponce de Leon drew worldwide praise from the day its elaborately carved doors opened in 1888. Built in the Spanish Renaissance Revival style, the architectural and engineering marvel featured the talents of a team of renowned artisans, including the designs of architects John Carrère, Thomas Hastings, and Bernard Maybeck, electricity by Thomas Edison, and interior decoration and stained glass windows by Louis Tiffany. Hotel Ponce de Leon is the first work to present the building's complete history and detail its transformation into the heart of Flagler College. Leslee Keys, who assisted in the restoration, recounts the complicated construction of the hotel--the first major structure to be built entirely of poured concrete--and the efforts to preserve it and restore it to its former glory. The methods used at Flagler College have been recognized as best practices in historic preservation and decorative arts conservation, and today the campus is one of Florida's most visited heritage tourism destinations.

Download or read book Graffiti Palace written by A. G. Lombardo and published by MCD. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant, exhilarating debut novel that retells The Odyssey during the 1965 Watts Riots—like nothing you’ve ever read before It’s August 1965 and Los Angeles is scorching. Americo Monk, a street-haunting aficionado of graffiti, is frantically trying to return home to the makeshift harbor community (assembled from old shipping containers) where he lives with his girlfriend, Karmann. But this is during the Watts Riots, and although his status as a chronicler of all things underground garners him free passage through the territories fiercely controlled by gangs, his trek is nevertheless diverted. Embarking on an exhilarating, dangerous, and at times paranormal journey, Monk crosses paths with a dizzying array of representatives from Los Angeles subcultures, including Chinese gangsters, graffiti bombers, witches, the Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, and others. Graffiti Palace is the story of a city transmogrified by the upsurge of its citizens, and Monk is our tour guide, cataloging and preserving the communities that, though surreptitious and unseen, nevertheless formed the backbone of 1960s Los Angeles. With an astounding generosity of imagery and imagination, Graffiti Palace heralds the birth of a major voice in fiction. A. G. Lombardo sees the writings on our walls, and with Graffiti Palace he has provided an allegorical paean to a city in revolt.

Download or read book Movie Palaces written by Joseph M. Valerio and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the potential of U.S. movie theaters as an important national asset. Each of the 4,000 movie palaces constructed during Hollywood's Golden Age, as well as the countless smaller theaters modeled after the grander showcases, has a role to play in the life of today's cities. The first section of the book explores the social and economic history of the movie palace and the significance of the building phenomenon. Subjects such as the development of moving pictures, the marketing of them to the public, and the architectural style of movie palaces are examined. The leading theater architects are identified, and the decline of the large downtown theaters following World War II is discussed. The second part of the book consists of case studies, drawn from projects nationwide, which reflect the programming options for theater renaissance. Motivations for movie palace reuse are summarized into three situations: (1) a user needs a facility; (2) a facility needs a user; or (3) a city needs a redevelopment anchor. The third section of the book, which profiles the lessons of the second, includes planning guidelines for theater economic feasibility studies, organizational structures, program environments, and adaptive reuse and operating costs. Four areas of theater function are explored: audience, performance, technology, and management. The book concludes with an annotated 76-item list of resources (publications, audiovisual presentations, and organizations) helpful to those contemplating movie palace redevelopment. Many sources listed lead to further information in the form of newsletters, bibliographies, and other organizational publications. The book is abundantly illustrated with black and white photographs and architectural drawings. (GEA)
