Bullocks Wilshire

By: Margaret Leslie Davis

Narrated by: Thomas Schiff

This elegant book chronicles the efforts of the impressive team of international architects, designers, and businessmen who created Los Angeles’ famed Art Deco masterpiece.

Bullocks Wilshire recounts the lives of the two immigrant entrepreneurs, John Gillespie Bullock and Percy Glen Winnett, who, with this magnificent department store, tested a new theory of retailing in the suburbs, and the architectural team, Parkinson and Parkinson, who executed that vision into one of Los Angeles’ most beloved landmarks.

Narrated by Thomas Schiff, the Bullocks Wilshire audiobook evokes the dramatic events and historic periods of boom and bust that characterize the growth of Los Angeles in a way the written word might not.
