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.

Leamington Spa Railway Station is a gem of Art Deco architecture. Built in the late 1930s, it stands out from other British stations with its clean lines, geometric patterns, and overall sense of grandeur. Stepping inside the Grade II listed building is like entering a time capsule, with a restored booking hall, waiting room, and even a café reflecting the stylish era.
