Playing with the building reflected in the windows
Its fanciness of Art Deco was surely not intended to mock the suffering and desperation of the innocent victims of the Great Depression, but I guess that's what ended up happening.
Verily here was the Axis Hotel in downtown Moline, opened in 2019 in the Fifth Avenue Building, a/k/a the Fifth Avenue Block, originally an office building. The official documentation of the Moline Downtown Commercial Historic District says the building is from 1930, as does the Rock Island County GIS Public Mapping App. The hotel's website has a page about the history of the building, which says it was built in 1927, even as it shows a series of pictures of the building under construction, dated from December 1929 well into 1930, as if we wouldn't notice the discrepancy. This page prepared by members of the Moline Heritage Preservation Commission says construction didn't begin until 1931, which is contradicted by the pictures on the hotel's website.
But anyway, I have DECIDED TO BELIEVE it was completed in 1930, at least mostly.

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).

July 6, 2023 - McDonald's located in the former Imperial Cafe at Praça da Liberdade 126, 4000-322 Porto, Portugal. "The American magazine Business Insider elected Mc Donald’s in Liberdade square, in Porto, as the most beautiful in the world. In fact, this American catering chain is installed in the building of the old Imperial café, one of the city’s historic cafés.
Open since 27 May 1936, its entrance is still guarded by giant bronze eagle by Portuguese sculptor Henrique Moreira. Inside you notice the hallmarks of the Art Deco style. The centerpiece of McDonald’s Imperial are the magnificent stained-glass windows, by Portuguese Ricardo Leone, depicting scenes linked to consumption (left side) and the cultivation and transformation of coffee (right side). The 4 grandiose crystal chandeliers give a luxurious ambiance to this space, something uncommon in fast food establishments.
Even if you are not a fan of this type of food, it is worth visiting this space that once belonged to one of the city’s historic cafés." Description: www.oportoguides.com/en/cafe-imperial-fast-food-with-glam...
