Commodore Hotel

The Commodore Hotel was built in 1936 in the Streamline Moderne style. The style is evident by the rows of recessed windows with continuous eyebrows on both street facades.

 

The hotel has a covered porch that wraps around the corner. Also taking advantage of the corner are the stacked curving windows with eyebrows.

 

The hotel's nautical motifs are quite playful with graduated circular bosses that give the impression of rising bubbles. The nautical theme continues with portholes on the ground level.
