Review: University Park, Los Angeles: A Brief History
I keep picking up Chris Epting books from the various Los Angeles libraries. This time my local county library enticed me into it.
University Park is very much in the same vein as Victorian Los Angeles. It is driven by the architecture of the area Epting is looking at. That approach has its power; he’s described several places I plan to visit on future jaunts around LA. However, the narratives and personalities of the history makers get less attention that I prefer in a history.
Very good for an architecture-driven history.
