Using historic photographs and local research, Brackney recounts the stories behind lost pieces of the city, including the Phoenix Hotel, buildings associated with noted Kentucky architect John McMurtry, the repeatedly transformed Centrepointe block, and other overlooked sites from Lexington and Fayette County history. The book combines architectural history, preservation, and local storytelling to document places that survive mainly through photographs and memory.
Peter Brackney is a Lexington attorney, preservationist, and local history writer. The book includes a foreword by Lexington Mayor Jim Gray.
