July 8, 2023 - Armazéns Cunhas at Praça de Gomes Teixeira 14 22, 4050-290 Porto, Portugal.
"The Cunhas Warehouses are housed in a magnificent Art Deco style building by the architect Manuel Marques (1890-1956) and his associates Amoroso Lopes and Coelho Freitas. They combined three 19th century buildings on a single Art Deco façade. It is easily recognized by the open feathered peacock on the facade of the building. Centennial warehouses in downtown Porto specialize in household items such as bedspreads, tablecloths, bed and bath sets, blankets, men’s and women’s interiors and also a large assortment of white gowns, maid robes and school gowns . The furniture is original making the visit to this shop an extraordinary trip to the past.
Created in 1898 and founded as Cunhas & C.ª Lda in December 1917 by its founder José de Almeida Cunha. It remains in the same family that preserves the history and past of this century-old warehouse. It stands out the participation in the Colonial Exhibition in the Palace of Crystal in 1934. They are a reference in this area of business."

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!".

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

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...

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).
