Reader Reviews
This is a wonderful book on an amazing building. The history of the building is as facinating as the structure itself. It's the story of one man's, Huey Long, cult of personality and of a state coming into the 20th century thirty years late. The building illustrates the history of Louisiana and the perserverance of this great state during the Depression. It's a symbol of power and hope. I have toured this building and I love it, it is Art Deco at its zenith. The historical photos in this book are very interesting and the author does a commendable job of using the photos to perfectly augement the text. I do wish, however, that he had included more photos of the full structure in all its majesty, but that is a small qualm and overall I highly recommend the book. This book is a tribute to Louisiana and the structure itself a tribute to a people who even at their lowest point could create amazing things. These great Art Deco structures, like the Louisiana Capitol, the Empire State Building, and the Hoover Dam show the American spirit at it's most vibrant and it lifts me up just to think about it.
