A nostalgic journey back in time to visit the lost sites of New Orleans in all their grandeur Organized chronologically; starting with the earliest losses and ending with the latest; this book features much-loved New Orleans insitutions that failed to stand the test of time; such as grand buildings erected in the Victorian era that were too costly to be refurbished; or movie theaters that the age of television made redundant are featured. Alongside the city's iconic and much-missed buildings; it also looks at the industries that have declined or left town. More than 60 losses from 1900 up to the present day include the Old French Opera House; New Orleans Cotton Exchange; Old Masonic Temple; Poydras Market; Chess; Checkers; and Whist Club; Charity Hospital; Olivier Plantation House; Washington Artillery Hall; Union Railroad Depot; New Orleans Public Library; Solari’s Delicatessen; Sugar and Rice Exchange; Godchaux’s; Tulane Stadium; Rivergate Exhibition Hall; Lower Ninth Ward; and Le Beau House.

Nicely done in all regards with great detail4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The definitive book on the Ju 52By Alte AdlerThe team of. Forsyth and Creek does it again. Tons of new information and photos on this bird; and the entire development line up to and including the Ju 352. Many unpublished photos; and the few that have been published before are no where near the clarity of the ones here. This is; and will be; the definitive book on "Tante Ju". Get the book now; as years from now the price for a used one will be a lot higher as are all the books in this Classic series. It deserves all the five star ratings it receives.Now; if only they will (please) give the same treatment to the Dornier Do 17 thru Do 317 series.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
