A Guide to Historic Hollywood: A Tour Through Place and Time

By Joan Mickelson

Nestled between Palm Beach's exclusive boutiques and the lavish lifestyle of Miami's South Beach rests the charming city of Hollywood, Florida.

The charismatic land developer J.W. Young first envisioned this prosperous and picturesque town in the early 20th century, and within in a few short decades carved an elegant resort town from a veritable wilderness. Divided into two parts, A Guide to Historic Hollywoodby local historian Joan Mickelson, the daughter of a city founder, provides a history of Hollywood's formative years as well as a guide through the historic streets of this beautiful Florida city. From the roaring '20s to the post-war '50s, Mickelson highlights the buildings, people and events vital to the history of this now-thriving coastal landmark.
