From the publisher

Americans are hungry for good news from their cities, and here's a heartening example from the heartland, with mouth-wateringly beautiful photographs to pull you in. Almost Lost, Building and Preserving Heritage Hill, Grand Rapids, Michigan begins like a suspense novel, with the startling declaration, We almost lost it. Turn to a full-page, black-and-white photograph of wrecking cranes demolishing the 1888 Romanesque Revival, Grand Rapids City Hall. That image clearly demonstrates what was at stake when well-meaning urban renewal projects threatened the old houses on Heritage Hill. Thanks to local advocacy groups and government recognition, Heritage Hill Historic District is saved -- for all kinds of residents. Variety is a keynote sounded throughout the story, from diversity of architectural styles, home cost and scale, to diversity of residential population. Author Thomas Logan identifies and discusses 15 major architectural styles found on Heritage Hill.
