{"product_id":"detroits-historic-hotels-and-restaurants-patricia-ibbotson-9780738550800","title":"Detroit's Historic Hotels and Restaurants","description":"Detroit's population grew rapidly after the beginning of the 20th century due to the growth of the automobile and other industries, and the city became a tourist and convention center. Detroit was in its heyday in the 1920s when it was the fourth-largest city in the United States. Some of Detroit's larger hotels were architectural masterpieces, nationally known, and were the center of social\u003cbr\u003eactivities. Others were lesser-known second-class hotels now largely forgotten. Detroit restaurants ranged from the self-serve to the elegant. These hotels and restaurants, many of which are gone now, are preserved in nearly 200 vintage postcards, allowing the reader to take a trip down memory lane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Ibbotson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738550809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738550800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.60w x 0.36d","brand":"Patricia Ibbotson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059579285759,"sku":"9780738550800","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_026ce369-2f54-46ee-85cf-9c274a3779a8.jpg?v=1685059080","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/detroits-historic-hotels-and-restaurants-patricia-ibbotson-9780738550800","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
