The Midland Hotel is a Streamline Moderne building in Morecambe, in Lancashire, England. It was built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), in 1933, to the designs of architect Oliver Hill, with sculpture by Eric Gill. It is a Grade II* listed building. The hotel has been restored by Urban Splash with architects Union North, Northwest Regional Development Agency and Lancaster City Council.
The hotel is designed in the Streamline Moderne style of Art Deco. Oliver Hill designed a three-storey curving building, with a central circular tower containing the entrance and a spiral staircase, and a circular cafe at the north end. The front of the hotel is decorated with two Art Deco seahorses, which can be viewed at close proximity from the hotel's rooftop terrace.
The hotel stands on the seafront with the convex side facing the sea, and the concave side facing the former Morecambe Promenade railway station – in homage to the railway company whose showcase hotel this was. Hill designed the hotel to complement the curve of the promenade, which allowed guests to view spectacular panoramas of the North West coast.

Seattle's library for the visually impaired is a stunning example of Streamline Moderne - oh, the irony.
Very Streamline Moderne architecture appropriately used on this Art Deco marine building right on Miami Beach in the National Historic Art Deco District - only "district" of its kind in the world (I think I've read :>)
A rare example of Streamline Moderne architecture in San Francisco.
I couldn't find who was the original architect.
An un-painted model of Capitol Theatre. I made this model because I never seen this building before, I would like to get an idea of how it look from different angles, and perhaps recreate & experience the past of HK...
It is very difficult to find out the details of this building because there are hardly any information on it. I made this model based on various old photographs & my father's description.
我爸小时在這個劇院鄰附近居住，他常常對我描述這個戲院，說它多么美麗。 我做這個模型只因為懷舊, 想通过做這個模型再看到京華戲院.
這個模型不是十分準確的，因為沒有可用的圖，因此我只可以去通过研究照片猜測高度& 大小. 當我有機會时，將重造另一個.
Didn't get the exact shot I wanted of Rutton Manor, located at 39 Garden Road in Colaba, so I'm posting three angles. Haha!
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 Art Deco and streamline moderne influences prevail throughout the public areas of the Milwaukee Clipper. These changes came about in the 1930's when the old 1904 wooden superstructure was replaced with metal for fire safety.

The original Rincon Annex building was a United States Post Office, designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood in the Streamline Moderne style and completed in 1940 and sponsored by the New Deal Work Projects Administration. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The exterior of the building is decorated by dolphins in stone relief friezes above the doorways and windows. Today, only the original Post Office lobby remains, serving as a vestibule for the modern-day Rincon Center.
The lobby interior features the renowned "History of California" mural, composed of 27 watercolor murals painted by the Russian immigrant muralist Anton Refregier, from 1941 to 1948 under the Federal Art Project of the Work Projects Administration. The murals, in the Social realism style, depict the history of California and San Francisco's role in it. As the murals were completed immediately following World War II, they generated fierce controversies. Refregier's detractors criticized his artistic style and questioned his political leanings. The controversy eventually reached the U.S. Congress, where critics called for the murals to be destroyed. Ironically, it was the murals that led to the preservation of the post office lobby as part of the Rincon Center development.
The Aquatic Park Bathhouse Building was build in 1939 by the WPA. It is a beautiful Streamline Moderne building, designed to look like an ocean liner.

Art Deco building (1937). Currently HQ of the Scottish Government and previously the site of Carlton Jail.
The Camberwell Police Station and Court House Complex on the Corner of Camberwell Road and Butler Street in the Melbourne eastern suburb of Camberwell, was designed by Public Works Department architect, Percy Edgar Everett (1888 - 1967).
The complex was built by W. A. Medbury between 1938 and 1939. in the Streamline Moderne style which had been influencing Australian architecture since its first appearance in the early 1930s. The complex is set on a diagonal axis. The buildings are constructed of red, brown and manganese bricks and contain Percy Everett's trademark pattern detailing.
The complex still retains a law enforcement function to this day, as the court house is now used for Administrative Appeals Tribunals and the police station still functions.
Percy Everett's other architectural works include; the Fairfield Club House in 1934, the Essendon technical School in 1939 and the Russell Street Police Headquarters in 1942 and 1943.

Modeled after the art deco style tailfins that made the entrance of the former Pan Pacific Auditorium in the Fairfax District in Los Angeles. Construction has been going at a frantic pace in recent weeks.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of the 1200 - 1300 block of Ocean Drive in South Beach you will find these concrete art deco details :>)
I will create a new set for this Astoria Park public pool with cool streamline modern diving board and add this one to one of my newer collage sets as well. Newest news www.nytimes.com/2012/03/06/nyregion/diving-board-in-queen...
This very cool streamline art deco building (I did not get the address) is on the waterfront near the Customs Building in Guangzhou, China.
Day and Night Cleaners, 1012 S. Elgin Ave., Tulsa Oklahoma. William Wolaver, architect. Streamline Modern building. Built 1946.
Originally The Maybury Roadhouse designed by Patterson and Broom, 1935-36. This is a striking dominant Art Deco building, refurbished sympathetically with original features remaining when it became a casino in 1990. The original exterior details like these lights marking the entrance are very impressive indeed showing the stepped form that was such a popular feature of the period and is found in the building itself. Identical lamps flank the steps.
