The Westminster Arcade, also known as the Providence Arcade, was completed in 1828. It is considered by some to be the first enclosed shopping mall in the US. It is a National Historic Landmark.
Arcades. Interesting straight-shot streets. Very flat roads.
Bonus points for interesting patterns that kind of make your eyes swim after a while.
This place is hopping after dark when all those doors open up and the restaurants put tables and chairs out on the square. Everyone from retired couples out on a Friday night, to high school age kids gathering in groups... all of them congregated here.
The Arcade Restaurant located in downtown Memphis, TN. Just a few blocks from Beale St. The Arcade was created and built by Speros Zepatos in 1919.
We have a contest at zbudujmy.to - "Złote Study", Golden Studs in english). There is one category whose winner is determined by voters and well, I got a tie with Jerac.
To resolve the tie, us both have to build something in two weeks, to the theme picked by our community.
The theme was... 80ties!
So here's my 80's Arcade.

The arcades of the Great Mosque of Diyarbakır are two-storeyed: with their blend of classical colums, Seljuk arches and Greek and Kufic inscriptions they are strangely beautiful.

Brisbane Arcade is a heritage-listed shopping arcade at 160 Queen Street through to Adelaide Street in the Brisbane CBD, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Richard Gailey, Junior and built in 1923 to 1924 by J & E L Rees and Forsyth & Speering. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.
The Brisbane Arcade was opened in March 1924. It was built for a cost of £70,000 for Dr James Mayne, and his sister Mary Emelia Mayne. Their father, Patrick Mayne, had purchased the property as two adjoining allotments in 1853 (allotment 2 of section 10, with a frontage to Queen Street) and 1854 (allotment 17 of section 10, with a frontage to Adelaide Street).
The arcade was designed by Richard Gailey Jnr (the son of architect Richard Gailey) and built by J & E L Rees (Queen Street section), & Forsyth and Speering (Adelaide Street section). It provided a pedestrian and commercial link between Queen and Adelaide Streets. The arcade contained shops with frontages to Adelaide and Queen Streets, 20 shops on the ground level of the arcade, and a further 20 on the first floor. The building also contained office accommodation on the first level. The Arcade was one of a number of building projects in Queen Street during the 1920s including Ascot Chambers (1924), Tattersalls Club (1925) and the Regent Theatre (1928).
Although there does not appear to have been an official opening ceremony, in the first week of March 1924 a number of tenants announced the opening of their arcade stores full of luxury items, such as silks, ladies' fashion and floral art.
Since the deaths of James Mayne in 1939, and Mary Mayne in 1940, Brisbane Arcade has been operated by a board of trustees acting on behalf of their estates, with operating proceeds benefiting the University of Queensland School of Medicine (now known as the University of Queensland Mayne Medical School in honour of the bequest). McGees Property manages the arcade on behalf of the board of trustees.
On 5 February 1952, the Johnstone Gallery was opened in a former bomb shelter under Brisbane Arcade, where it remained until closing on 19 December 1957 in order to relocate to Bowen Hills.
The Brisbane Arcade connects Queen and Adelaide Streets in the block between Edward and Albert Streets. The facades at each end have similar features - both are three storeys high and five window bays across, of face brickwork with cement dressings, and use plain Classical details.
The Queen Street facade has triangular Classical pediments at parapet level above each end window bay. These end bays are separated by flanking brick pilasters and have cantilevered balconies on both levels with wrought iron railings consisting of vertical balustrading. The openings contain timber framed multi-paned windows and french doors which open onto the balconies. Ornate floral mouldings are situated on the pilasters to either side of the upper level openings. A deep bracketed cornice runs between the base of the pediments separating the parapet from the remainder of the facade. The parapet has raised sections at each end and in the centre where there is the name "BRISBANE ARCADE" in raised lettering.
The Adelaide Street facade has a similar arrangement of openings, but has arched windows in the end bays of the top floor with keystones that extend to the cornice line. A similar cornice occurs above all the other window openings as sun hoods. Cantilevered balconies occur only on the first floor level at each end and in the centre. These have wrought iron railings with diagonal balustrading.
The entry to the arcade is central on both facades. The three storey sections extend only part of the distance into the block from both ends and are linked by the two storey arcade. Some of the ground floor shops have been changed from the traditional materials polished timber shopfronts and lead-light windows to be replaced by marble and other modern products.
The central space has a void running the length of the arcade crossed by a central walkway leading to the galleries on each side. The upper level is accessed by stairs at each end which retain their original terrazzo finishes. The roof structure above the arcade consists of lightweight exposed steel trusses, and natural light is allowed into the space through clerestory windows on each side.
The arcade features art work from the hosting of Brisbane's World Expo '88, namely, "Mirage" by Swiss-Israeli artist Gidon Graetz.
Today the Brisbane Arcade features a range of artisan and boutique stores, with several fashion, jewellery and specialist businesses operating out of the location.
Brisbane Arcade was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.
My Modular Arcade series returns in May! This second generation features three all-new arcade machine designs (two pictured here), an all-new sit-down arcade racer, and new/improved wall and stairs units. As with previous Modular Arcade units, you can snap them together any way you like to create your own unique arcade.
A snatched photo while moving from one location to another. A very nice arcade in Brussels, normally packed, less so during the state of emergency.
