June 24, 2023 - Aquarium de Biarritz also called le Musée de la Mer (Museum of the Sea). "Open since 1933 in an Art Deco building on the Esplanade du Rocher de la Vierge, and extended in 1952 to include a scientific study and research centre, it shows visitors the role of the sea in the formation of the continents, the population of the waters, and the ocean in all its forms. Since 2011, its surface area has doubled to house even more species. See the seahorses and yellow and blue surgeonfish swim around, admire the ballet of the jellyfish, the loggerhead sea turtles, the rays or the mandarin fish, shiver in front of the hammerhead or blacktip sharks - this is an experience you will never forget."

aka, the French Institute of London
The institute opened in 1910, initially in Marble Arch House (nr. Connaught Place) before settling in this purpose-built site in 1939.
The building was designed by French architect Patrice Bonnet (1879-1964), and opened by President Albert Lebrun and HRH Princess Mary.
The impressive Art Deco structure of the Barkers Building. Home to Barkers department store until its closure in 2006, this now houses Whole Foods.

Located in northeastern New Mexico, Colfax County is named for Schuyler Colfax, who was Vice President under Ulysses S. Grant.
New Mexico Territory had nine counties when it was established in 1852. In 1859, the eastern portion of Taos County was split off to become Mora County. On January 25, 1869, Colfax County was established from the northern portion of Mora County.
The original county seat of Colfax County was the goldmining town of Elizabethtown. In 1872, after the gold rush had died down, the county seat was moved to Cimarron. In 1881, the count seat was moved again, this time to Springer. After a bitter legislative fight, the set was moved to the coal mining town of Raton in 1897, where it remains today.
The 1936 WPA Art Deco courthouse in Raton is the second in Raton, and the (I'm guessing) fifth courthouse overall. The ones in Cimarron and Springer are still standing.
Some features of the current courthouse are the decorative panels of the brands of area ranches set around the entryway. There are also carved cattle heads and bas reliefs of farming and mining scenes.
The El Raton Theater was built in 1930, and entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It appears to currently be closed. The website says that it was being renovated, and states "See you in 2023!".
I've always liked this quirky Victorian tower, which is one side of a pedestrian access to the Mander Centre. It's opposite King St and the upper floor{s} house a photographic studio.
In the background, we can see the Exchange St/Lichfield St corner end of Barclays Bank, and the edge of the modern extension to another bank on the right hand edge, here in Dudley St.
N.B. the 1930s facade on the left. I must either return to my home town and take a proper shot of it or scour my older photos!

Completed in 1933, the Art Deco Kyle Building (aka Kyle Block) was built close to the location of the former Kyle Opera House, which was built in 1901, and torn down in 1931 to allow for the extension of Willow Street.
Originally retail space, it was built by oilman and merchant Wesley W. Kyle Jr. and his brother Brudge E. Kyle. It has undergone two renovations since then, and now mainly houses lawyers offices
