All across the city\, historic preservation is now transforming Los Ang
eles\, while also pointing the way to how other cities can use preservatio
n to revitalize their neighborhoods and build community. Preserving Lo
s Angeles: How Historic Places Can Transform America’s Cities \, autho
red by Ken Bernstein\, who oversees Los Angeles’ Office of Historic Resour
ces\, tells this under-appreciated L.A. story: how historic preservation h
as been transforming neighborhoods\, creating a Downtown renaissance\, and
guiding the future of the city.
\nWhile it is younger than many Eas
t Coast cities\, Los Angeles has a remarkable collection of architectural
resources in all styles\, reflecting the legacy of notable architects from
the past 150 years. As one of the most diverse cities in the world\, Los
Angeles is also breaking new ground in its approach to historic preservati
on\, extending beyond the preservation of significant architecture\, to al
so identify and protect the places of social and cultural meaning to all o
f Los Angeles’s communities. Preserving Los Angeles illuminates a
Los Angeles that will surprise even longtime Angelenos―highlighting dozens
of lesser-known buildings\, neighborhoods\, and places in every corner of
the city that have been “found” by SurveyLA\, the first-ever city-wide su
rvey of Los Angeles’ historic resources. The text is richly illustrated th
rough images by a prominent architectural photographer\, Stephen Schafer.
Preserving Los Angeles is an authoritative chronicle of Los Angel
es’ urban transformation― and a useful guide for citizens and urban practi
tioners nationally seeking to draw lessons for their own cities.

witness accounts detailing supernatural activity associated with this extr
aordinary location. \n$10 Presentation only – Members (Pay B

Having
been approached by many guests\, patrons\, and employees over the years\,
Keith has heard it all. “Two tourists walked up to me and asked how they
could get inside the mansion for the tour. When I told them the interior i
s closed to the public one replied\, ‘Oh\, because we saw a man in period
clothing staring out the window and we thought he was part of the tour.’”
This marks just one encounter of 237 paranormal stories documented at Grey
stone Mansion. Keith spent nearly three years researching the supernatural
activity at the estate. With 86 interviews\, including guests of the park
\, City staff\, police officers\, movie crew personnel\, and janitorial se
rvices\, Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills promises you a riveting histo
ry and ghostly encounters. For more than two decades\, the mystery surroun
ding the strange events taking place in and around Greystone Mansion has b
een suppressed\, ignored\, and disbelieved. Along with rare photographs an
d intriguing details about the landscape and architecture\, Keith delves i
nto the family of Ned and Lucy Doheny\, including the fateful murder/suici
de on the night of February 16\, 1929\, and other unfortunate deaths that
surround these enigmatic grounds that may have stoked the paranormal fire
of activity. “People from all over the world come to visit this iconic loc
ation. They want to peek behind the curtain and observe this ghostly estat
e for themselves. Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills will allow them to d
o just that.”
