Author Talk: Anthony Sammarco’s Lost Boston

Join author Anthony Sammarco for a nostalgic journey back in time to visit some of Boston's iconic buildings and institutions in all their historic grandeur. Lost Boston features sixty eight essays on once well known institutions that failed to stand the test of time, including Readville Trotting Park, The Boston Garden and the City Point Aquarium, Jordan Marsh Department Store, Scollay, Haymarket and Pemberton Squares, and the Parker House, Tremont House and Hotel Pelham.

Anthony Sammarco is a historian who lectures widely on the history and development of Boston. He is the author of 60 books on his native city, including Boston: A Century of Progress and Downtown Boston.
