Kia Ora is located at 449-453 St. Kilda Road, Melbourne, 3004. It is on the east side of St. Kilda Road, half-way between Toorak and Commercial Roads.
Kia Ora was completed in 1936 in the style of Streamline Moderne. Kia Ora was commissioned by the Dixon family, who owned the "Kia Ora" cordial factory, and designed by architect Lewis Levy (1890-1970). When first built, they boasted wall panel hydronic heating, walk-in closets and modern kitchens.
Fawkner Park, one of Melbourne's larger inner city parks, graces the rear of Kia Ora, and the residents are fortunate to have a private gate to access the park.
The Tudor Hotel was built in 1939. Along both facades are continuous eyebrows on both upper floors. The railings on the roof give the hotel a decidedly ocean liner appearance.
The hotel has a rounded Streamline corner entry. The corner on the second and third floors has a coral-tinted keystone.
The full front view of the restored Fowler Theatre in downtown Fowler, Indiana. Designed by Alexander K. Eugene of Chicago, it opened in early 1940. It was restored by the community since 2001 and is staffed by volunteers. Read an interesting review of the building when it opened by clicking on History at the following link:
The Kehias Bldg. was "Erected to commemorate our 25th Anniversary for the progress of Pana 1914-1939. So says the cornerstone behind the red car. This modern building could use some work.

Former car dealership

I think Buicks were sold here until at least the late '80s. Now it appears to be a shop for cabinetry and/or fixtures. Love the rounded corners and band of chrome!
The Greyhound Station is one of the city’s best examples of the Streamline Moderne style, with its rounded corner, curved canopy, and ribbon windows on the upper level. This popular style of the 1930s and 1940s was meant to express movement and speed, and the building matched the styling of the company’s busses during that period. Architect: W. D. Peugh
Interior of the former National Art Gallery (circa 1930's) in Nanjing China. The renovation was almost complete at the time of this photo. Since the museum was not open, we had to politely ask to "look around".
Union Station was designed by John Parkinson and Donald B. Parkinson who also designed the Los Angeles City Hall among many other landmarks. The structure is an interesting combination between Mission Revival and Streamline Moderne style. It opened in 1939 and is the last great train station constructed in the United States. Amtrak, Metrolink, the Metro Red line, Metro Gold line, and buses serve the station. It is on the National Register #80000811 (and really should also be a National Historic Landmark).
Visited as part of Open House 2009.
Unusual 1930s ship-shaped school building, converted to nursery. Dropped ceilings and child-height porthole windows give suitable scale of space whilst complementing external elevations. Grade II listed. Civic Trust commendation 2000.
This elegant building was designed by the architects to the Borough of Ilford in 1934, although no individual name has been traced. It was built for the teaching of domestic science subjects but had stood empty since 1983.

The northwest corner of the streamline moderne building housing a dentist's office in south Minneapolis; notice the fun slogan on the main sign.
Built in 1939, this Streamline Moderne example boasts a steel and glass-block entrance. For a view of its facade, look elsewhere in this photoset (Residential Detroit).
Opened 1949 as a regular movie theater built in the streamline moderne style. By 1973, it was showing porn films, switched back to a non porn in 1977, only to have the adult films return a year later, which the theater showed as such until 2000, when it was shut down by the County of Santa Clara. The theater has been stripped of it's seats and the screen by the new owner, but not much can operate in the building given the lack of parking at the theater site.

This house at 1142 South College Avenue, built in 1935 for William D. Whenthoff, was designed in the streamlined ship style with two-stories of brick laid over tile blocks and painted to look like stucco. A second story balcony serves as a canopy for the entry and wraps around the house. Its triple railing creates the illusion of a ship’s bridge with an exterior ladder running from the second floor to the flat roof. There are two porthole windows, one on the first floor by the entry and the other above the second floor entry.

Pabellón de Párvulos del Instituto Escuela
1933-1935
(Actual Colegio Público “Ramiro de Maeztu”)
Arquitectos: Carlos Arniches Moltó, Martín Domínguez Esteban y Eduardo Torroja (ingeniero)
La ordenación en planta del edificio del colegio de primaria responde a unas exigencias de adaptación urbana y a los condicionantes pedagógicos de los promotores basados en un higienismo que proponía el contacto directo de los niños con la naturaleza, donde pudieran jugar e incluso plantar flores. Con estos principios, el pabellón de párvulos se resolvió por medio de la agrupación en línea de seis aulas que se abren, con una gran puerta vidriera de cinco metros de longitud, hacia un huerto o jardín –en la actualidad desaparecido- , independiente para cada una, consiguiendo así la integración del aula con la naturaleza. Entre cada dos jardines se sitúan unas marquesinas de hormigón –diseñadas por Eduardo Torroja- con bancos corridos para el descanso a la sombra. La estructura es de hormigón y el cerramiento de ladrillo visto.
Actualmente, dentro del conjunto de reformas que se han efectuado en el edificio, el ajardinamiento se ha eliminado, permaneciendo sólo los árboles que, para cada aula es de una especie distinta –madroño, olivo, encina, etc-. El área de tierra se ha cubierto de hormigón prensado y se ha dispuesto un arenero para cada dos aulas para que jueguen los niños. Los ventanales se han modificado y se han mantenido las marquesinas del patio, que siguen cumpliendo con su función original.
Although not famous for its Art Deco architecture, the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat, which was established between the 1860s and 1880s when the area was at the centre of a gold rush, does have some fine examples of interwar and post war architecture when the gold boom was replaced with wealth generated through grazing and agriculture.
During the 1920s and 1930s, those people thriving from farming or local industry had plenty to spend in local shops. This wonderful Art Deco facade (circa 1925 - 1930) belongs to the PPL Building in Ballarat's main shopping thoroughfare, Sturt Street. Whilst the street level may have fallen victim to the changes in marketing, the upper floors remain unchanged by fickle owners. It still retains its striking minimalist Art Deco design. It features the building's name in a rounded cartouche on the building's corner facade which overlooks Albert Street. The PPL Building has a stylised stepped roofline, long spandrels with rounded edging and glass brick windows, all of which were popular architectural features of the Art Deco movement in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The rounded edges are very representative of the Streamline Moderne movement, and the building is everything a smart and successful business would want in the booming interwar years in Australia.
The F. Edward Hebert Federal Building, at 600 South Maestri Place, was designed in art deco / art moderne style by architect Howard Lovewell Cheney in 1939. Named after the F. Edward Hebert, who served as a U.S. Congressman from Louisiana between 1941-1977, the 12-floor building has held offices and a branch of the U.S. Post Office since opening. The limestone building exhibits rectilinear elements with little embellishment and is decorated with art deco bas-reliefs. Portions of the movie JFK were filmed here.
The facade of a pretty and very stylised cream stucco Art Deco villa in the Melbourne suburb of Fairfield . The speed lines picked out in yellow around the walls, the stepped chimney, the scalloped edging around the garage (with its original green metal door) and the streamlined windows all pay homage to the chic, uncluttered lines of Art Deco architecture. The low fence with its plain pillars and wrough iron decoration is also very Art Deco.
The New York Central K-5b Pacific Class 4-6-2 steam locomotive #4915 with Henry Dreyfuss' streamline design. Originally manufactured in 1926 by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO), no. 4915 and her sister no. 4917 were streamlined in 1936 to lead The New York Central’s most luxurious experience on rails.
This project is my first MOC and has taken about a year and a half to complete with many challenges arising in trying to obtain the beautiful "streamline moderne" styling. Perseverance paid off however and through 1/2 steps, 1/3 steps and even 1/6 steps I have ended with a final version that I hope you all will enjoy.
The model is 8-wide, built to 1:48 scale and is designed to fit all standard lego track geometry. The locomotive is powered by two Power Functions M motors.

"The problem with the stains all around the top will never be corrected," everybody agrees.
Beige and light gray with brown trim and black-and-white checker pattern was perfect for this.

The Henrico Theater, located just outside of Richmond, was recently restored. I believe that it is being used for live performances.
Here is a closeup of the marquee.
C.1938

"This art-deco project on the seafront, locally known as 'the Skyscraper', was built to resemble the superstructure of the Queen Mary, a passenger line. In 1937, when it was completed, it housed 153 flats and 3 restaurants. It was the tallest block of flats in the United Kingdom.
In the 1960s it was home to The Cobweb, also known as the Witch Doctor – a nightclub that saw Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and other luminaries play.
Though a listed building, it is in a poor state of repair and awaiting the outcome of planning enquiries. The general condition of the exterior has suffered from the sea air and general neglect; the shop fronts on the ground floor have had their external finishing altered and changed. It has a number of inappropriate modern double glazed, plastic framed windows out of keeping with the original 'Crittall' style frames. Although it may look good from Hastings and the A259, it’s just a shabby block of flats if you look at it from St. Leonards." nicebrighton.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/the-history-of-st-l...
A Metro Liner bus waits at the Chatsworth station. This articulated bus operates on its own dedicated busway from Chatsworth to North Hollywood. Most of the busway route is on an old Southern Pacific railroad branch line right-of-way.

With people wishing to have smaller and more easily managed houses after the Great War (1914 - 1918), architects began designing new ways of living in the 1920s and 1930s including flats and maisonettes.
This Metroland style pair of maisonettes (two houses joined by a shared central wall), is a perfect example of this new way of living during the Interwar period.
This cottage style of red bricks with geometric patterns decoration in feature clinker and brown bricks, and Streamline Moderne windows follow the less cluttered lines of comfortable Metroland architecture that came out of England after the war.

The 1938 Essex House Hotel is in the Streamline Moderne style with a corner entry. The hotel has a distinctive ship design with port holes at the roof line.
To add to the elongated effect, the building includes racing stripes and long eyebrows (including wrap-around eyebrows at both corners)
The rounded facade is topped by a four-sided neon metal spire.
