Bruce McKane, a florist with an eye for architectural detail, lives at Highland Towers, an old Hollywood apartment-hotel with carved wood cornices, a rooftop garden and a basement swimming pool that, though it has been out of use for decades, is a curious reminder of the grand history of the building, as well as Hollywood itself. The 61-year-old steel and concrete structure is a bit tattered now, but McKane sees past that.
