Wellington's old hotels and their colourful human stories
Very Good Condition - Dust jacket lightly rubbed with minor edge creasing. Copyright 1974.
Pat Lawlor revisits Wellington's hotels through a mixture of local history, memorable personalities and anecdotes. Establishments that served as meeting places, landmarks and temporary homes become a route into the social life of the city. Their proprietors, visitors and changing fortunes give individual buildings a character that extends beyond an address or an architectural description. Historical illustrations and photographs help place the stories within streets that have often altered beyond recognition. The result is a portrait of a city seen through places where people gathered, exchanged news and made memories. Readers interested in Wellington history will find a collection that preserves both the outlines of its hospitality trade and the less formal stories that bring the past to life.
