America SAVANNAH, GA--Arcadia Publishing is pleased to present its latest title, Lost Savannah: Photographs from the collection of the Georgia Historical Society, by Luciana M. Spracher. Spracher will be signing copies of her new book at Barnes & Nobles in Oglethorpe Mall on Friday, April 10, at 7:00 P.M. For more information, contact Melanie Smith at 912.353.9231. Drawing on collections
of the Georgia Historical Society, a rich presentation of Savannah’s
public, private, and commercial architecture has been brought together
in this unique photographic volume. Through
vintage images, one can see the city’s development and growth as
well as its subsequent decay prior to the preservation movement. Lost
Savannah examines individual buildings, such as Union Station and
the Bulloch-Habersham House, as well as the evolution of Savannah’s
architectural landscape, including West Broad Street and Elbert Square. Spracher, a
freelance researcher working as Bricks and Bones Historical Research,
has collaborated with a variety of clients preserving the built environment
through historical documentation. Her unique approach to Savannah’s
history combines architectural history, property research, and genealogy
for a greater understanding of the relationship between people and the
built environment. Spracher’s love of architecture brought her
to Savannah, where she received her bachelor’s degree in historic
preservation from Savannah College of Art and Design and master’s
degree in history from Armstrong Atlantic State University. For more information about the book or to contact the author for interviews, contact Sara San Angelo at ssanangelo@arcadiapublishing.com. Courtesy
