ArchitectureWeek Description The commercial architecture hotels restaurants, and nightspots created by Wayne McAllister (1907-2000) is responsible for much of the character of Southern California. His Fred-and-Ginger nightclubs and glinting-steel-and-neon circular drive-ins gave Hollywood its image in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. This survey of McAllister's work shows how his example "changed the fabric of cities." Amazon Customer Average Rating:
