Author Mark Doty will present his new book Lost Dallas tonight from 6:40–8 p.m. at the Skillman Southwestern Library auditorium. Show up at 6 p.m. for refreshments.
Doty’s book shows images of Dallas buildings “lost to redevelopment or forces of nature,” as the Advocate‘s Rachel Stone wrote about the book in April. In it are photos of Lower Greenville, White Rock Lake, the Dr. Pepper National Headquarters, the Victorian Gothic Ursuline Convent and other East Dallas landmarks.
After the presentation, you can buy a book and get it autographed by Doty, who is Dallas Historic Preservation Officer and will be donating book proceeds to the City of Dallas Municipal Archives.
