Author and Eagle Rock resident Stephen Gee discusses and signs Iconic Vision: John Parkinson, Architect of Los Angeles, 7 p.m., Thursday, December 12 at Vroman's Bookstore, 695 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101.
Iconic Vision, the first biography of the master architect, documents -- in remarkable detail and images -- John Parkinson's monumental contributions to the city he loved. Although other architects' names have become synonymous with the city, John Parkinson designed more landmark buildings in Los Angeles than any other architect, living or dead. And, while other architects may have taken credit for Parkinson's designs, Stephen Gee's penetrating biography establishes the truth. He tells the story of a man who envisioned tomorrow.
