Robert Stacy-Judd

Robert Stacy-Judd

Robert Stacy-Judd (1884-1975) was an American architect and author who designed theaters and other commercial buildings inspired by Maya architecture. His most celebrated building is the Aztec Hotel in Monrovia. Stacy-Judd was a friend of the writer T. A. Willard, who published a fanciful account of his travels to Chichen Itza. Possibly inspired by his friend, Stacy-Judd published several popular books on Maya culture that blend fact and fiction.
