Author and historian Anthony Sammarco talks about his new book entitled Lost Boston on October 8th at 7:00pm at the Milton Public Library. His new work is a nostalgic journey back in time to visit some of the disappeared Boston buildings and places in all their grandeur, before the wrecking ball and decline set in. From the 1870s up to the present day, 68 different losses are represented here, including schools, churches, theaters, grand mansions, dockyards, racetracks, parks, stores, hotels, offices, and factories. Organized chronologically starting with the earliest losses and ending with the latest, the book features much-loved institutions that failed to stand the test of time, along with old-fashioned hotels and sports facilities that were beyond updating or refurbishment. A book signing will follow. Please join us for this stimulating discussion and program, which is sponsored by The Friends of the Milton Public Library.
