July 12, 2024 - Building from left to right: Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center, LeVeque Tower and the Vern Riffe Center for Goverment and the Arts seen from the green roof of the former downtown Lazarus Department Store. The store closed in 2004 and is now the Lazarus Government Center. The last time I was on the roof was shortly after the building's renovation in 2007. The project obtained a LEED Gold rating.
The former home to the Atomic Nuclear Group, an arts project based around science.
Unfortunately the building appears to be unoccupied at the moment, which is a shame as the deco styling is great.
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

My husband wanted to just walk the shore from Bexhill toward Hastings and see if we could do it ! We didn't go between the museums but got some cultural bits of architecture with so many art deco buildings around the southeast coast of England !! www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kin...
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.
Here was a salmon-colored wall of Etowah brick at the backside of the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, originally named the Asheville City Auditorium, which was built in 1938-1939 and opened in January 1940, designed by Lindsey M. Gudger.
In the 1970s the auditorium was renamed in honor of the writer Thomas Wolfe and incorporated into the Asheville Civic Center, which was distastefully renamed the U.S. Cellular Center in 2012, and then the Harrah's Cherokee Center in 2020, per a reasonably well-referenced (as of this writing) Wikipedia article.
