Equal parts fairytale, history lesson, and showcase of the work of a master craftsman, The Rockwork of Daven Gray & The Gingerbread House That Started it All is a tribute to celebrated Southern California rock mason Daven Gray. His work spans five decades and began with his painstaking restoration of a ruined mountain cottage lovingly named the Gingerbread House. This book tells the story of that incredible restoration and a life dedicated to studying and perfecting stonemasonry. Readers are introduced to Mt. Baldy, California – once a weekend getaway for the Hollywood elite – and given a tour of the surrounding foothill communities via archival footage of local historic architecture.
