Penn Oil Building
Alterations: 1956 and 1998
aka 100 West Union
This Art Deco building was constructed in 1930 for the Penn Oil & Supply Company. It
consisted of a 47-foot tower with a one-story service wing at the corner of North Delacey Avenue and West Union Street. The open service bays along the street-facing elevations of the one-story wing were closed in 1956 when the building was converted into a printing and manufacturing facility. Designed by Bennett & Haskell, it is one of the most distinguished Art Deco style buildings in the district. In 1998, the building was adaptively reused for retail use.
Changes at that time included the removal of the 1956 alterations, their replacement with display windows, and a second story addition that is set back from the wall plane. Despite the alterations, the building still retains enough physical integrity to be considered a contributing building.
Significant architectural features include the tower element with recessed vertical bas relief panels and a stepped ziggurat roof, the original stucco clad surfaces on the street-facing elevations the stepped copping, the continuous frieze with zig-zag detailing, the wall spandrels, and the flared concrete wheel stops at the base of the piers. The south elevation facing Christensen Alley retains its original utilitarian design with plain red brick walls and steel sash windows.

The majestic 1913 Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, California not only wowed early travelers crossing the causeway, but soon took on a more sinister note when people began to leap from the 150 foot bridge to their death. Within a decade of its construction, locals had begun to call it the "Suicide Bridge,” and as you can imagine, legends began to abound that the bridge was haunted be those unfortunate souls.

This theatre opened in 1918 as the Florence Theatre. It then was bought by Fox, and later became a Pussycat Theatre, when "Old Town" Pasadena was the city's main skid row.
But Pasadena changed, and the State was one of the many casualties, closing for good back in 2000, when I shot this photo.
When the city forced the theatre to retrofit the building for earthquakes, it closed. The building's original facade was later recreated, and now it is a Carvel Ice Cream shop and a Quizno's, among other small retail establishments that now rent space there.
