When I consider the amount of times I've walked past this corner building, I'm shocked at myself for not photographing it until over 20 years since I've lived in Wolves! It's a lovely 1930s building and next time I'm in town, I must venture inside and ask to take some pics - I've never been in a betting shop before!!
The current building at 99 Kensington High Street was the department store Derry & Toms (a company formed in the 1860s by Joseph Toms and Charles Derry). The store moved into this building in 1932; the Art Deco department store was designed by Scottish architect Bernard George with metalwork by Walter Gilbert (1871-1946).
Derry & Toms closed in 1971, taken over by Biba which opened there in 1973 only to close two years later. The building is still in use by Marks & Spencer amongst others.

This is the rear of the hotel--on the banks of the Perfume River. The river is also called the Huong River.

I composed my picture to honor the building's brick side, which I personally prefer to the Indiana limestone on the front, because I dislike the state of Indiana.

A few iPhone photos of Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha. A great permanent collection and the art deco architecture of the museum, opened in 1931, is worth a visit alone.

Omaha Union Station (1931) was the first Art Deco train station in the United States. It closed for rail service in the 1970s and now houses the Durham Museum. Omaha's other passenger train station, the Italianate Burlington Station (1898) also closed when a crappy modern Amtrak station was built behind it (the Burlington may soon be renovated for adaptive reuse as apartments or perhaps some other use).
I recently returned from a week in my home town, Omaha (for Fathers Day, the College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium, music & good friends, etc).
