Good 1940 of art deco numerals.
We are expected to comprehend immediately and subconsciously that "1528" is a street address and "1940" is a year. Is that expectation fair?

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.
All of the entryway alcoves have light fixtures that appear to be either original or period correct reproductions.

The Rockefeller Center was sponsored by, and named after, John D Rockefeller Jr. (1874-1960). The development consists of 14 Art Deco buildings, designed by Raymond Mathewson Hood (1881-1934) and constructed between 1930-39, plus 4 International-Style buildings built in the 1960-70s.
The only project employed 40,000 people, and cost an estimated $250m at the time (this included the acquiring the land and demolishing some existing buildings).

The area now known as the State of Arkansas was acquired by the US in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Arkansas Territory (Territory of Arkansaw) was formed in 1819, and was admitted into the union as the 25th state on June 15, 1836.
Originally part of Sevier County, Polk County was first settled by whites around 1830. In November of 1844, the area was separated from Sevier County, and named for President James K. Polk. The first county seat was in the town of Dallas, which was named for Polk’s Vice President, George Dallas.
In 1896, the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad (now the Kansas City Southern Railroad), founded by Arthur E. Stillwell, platted out a townsite named for Folmina Margaretha Janssen-De Goeijen, called Mena, who was the wife of Jan de Goeigen, a wealthy Dutch merchant who helped finance the railroad. The railroad arrived in Mena on August 19, 1896, and Mena was incorporated on September 18, 1896. In June of 1898, a special election was held, and it was voted to move the county seat from Dallas to Mena.
The 1939 Art Deco style building in the center of Mena is the county’s fourth courthouse. It was constructed by the Works Progress Administration, using local labor. The first two courthouses were in the then county seat of Dallas. The first was built in 1844, and burned down. The second was built in 1869, and burned down in 1883. The first courthouse in Mena was built in 1898 (I don’t know what happened to that one).
Northwest Tower bldng, 1608 N. Milwaukee, Chgo. Do not use without my permission. Visit me on Instagram.
Aye there's a county government execution chamber in there, to satisfy the sick bloodlusts of the local politicians: Ugh this country has been dreadful.
Speaking of local politicians ahem, the building was dedicated in 1934 by Harry Truman, at the time the county's presiding judge and U.S. Senator-Elect.
