The Dixie Crystal Theatre (also known as the Clewiston Theater) is a historic site in Clewiston, Florida. It is located at 100 East Sugarland Highway. In 1998, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
It is a flat-roofed one-story masonry movie theater, built in a simplified Moderne style in 1941. It is 45 by 93 feet (14 m × 28 m) in plan.

*******************************************************************************
Early Florida history indicates that the Clewiston area was first used as a campsite by the Indians as they fished the bass-laden waters of Lake Okeechobee. Centuries later, fishing was to become the first recorded enterprise in the area; the sandy beach and natural inlet of Sand Point, now the site of the U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers regional office, served as a base of operations for scores of professional fishermen as late as the 1920's.
The Clewiston area also attracted its share of early adventurers and pioneer farmers, most notably a temporary settlement of Japanese farmers who began to grow beautiful vegetables in the fertile lakeside soil about 1915.
The first permanent development was undertaken in 1920 by Philadelphia investors John and Marion O'Brien and Tampa banker Alonzo Clewis, who purchased a substantial tract of land surrounding the picturesque lakeshore and set about to establish a town. The O'Briens and Clewis soon had a railroad line, the "M. H., and C.", built to connect Clewiston with the Atlantic Coast Line terminus at Moore Haven.
They then commissioned the well-known town planner, John Nolen of Boston, to create a plan for the city, and hired the firm of Elliott and Harmon of Peoria and Memphis to survey, map out and direct construction of the streets and canals.
Many of the early group remained to become permanent residents, founding schools and churches, opening stores, and establishing other needed business and professional services.
Within a few years, the rich muck lands around Clewiston attracted a group of Midwesterners interested in emulating the successful cultivation of sugar cane already undertaken on the lake's eastern shore by F. Edward Bryant.
Extensive sugar cane plantations were laid out and the first crops were so rich and abundant it was easy even then to envision Clewiston's future as a sugar center.
Following two disastrous storms in 1926 and 1928, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers carried out a federal project to help control the waters of Lake Okeechobee, thereby creating, even more, land suitable for cultivation and putting Clewiston well on the road to achieving its status as the heart of the United States sugar bowl.
During the 1930's, Clewiston's population continued to grow and the town's commercial and social activities gradually became more diversified. During the 1940's, at the onset of World War II, British Flying Training School Number Five was established at nearby Riddle Field. Here young pilots trained for the Royal Air Force. Many of these cadets formed lasting friendships with the people of Clewiston and they and their families return to their Southern "Yank" friends.
By the 1950's and 1960's, citrus, winter vegetables, and cattle had become important to the economic growth of the area. In recent years, due to freezes in north Florida, more acreage is being planted in citrus. Hendry County has more citrus trees than any county in Florida.
Clewiston's largest industry, however, was and is, sugar, and the town has become known as "America's Sweetest Town," thanks to the activities of the United States Sugar Corporation.
Clewiston's location on U.S. 27 places it at an important crossroads of both local and south Florida traffic and the seasonal influx of tourists from colder climates--many of whom have chosen to make this pleasant little town their year-round home. The city population is about 6,500 with a zip code population of 19,000.
Lake Okeechobee still abounds in huge bass and vast numbers of other fish. And, in continuing its Indian heritage, Clewiston has become a nationally renowned sports fishing center with tourist accommodations available all year.
Clewiston's temperate climate and tranquil palm-filled vistas make it a town for all seasons.

Paul Veysseyre’s former Bâtiment de la Marine nationale building at 7 Thống Nhất, later the Shell Vietnam apartments, the South Vietnamese Prime Minister’s Office and now the Office of the Government at 7 Lê Duẩn
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like these Japanese maples outside the "Kia-Ora" apartment complex on Melbourne's grand elm tree lined boulevard, St Kilda Road.
Melbourne had a very good start to summer with not too many burning hot days and lots of rain, which means that the autumn display of leaves at present are simply glorious.
The Streamline Moderne "Kia-Ora" apartment complex was built in 1936. Featuring a stained glass stairwell window executed in a geometric design, reeded half columns flanking the very stylised vestibule door and a small amount of geometric decoration along the roofline, "Kia-Ora" is everything chic and stylish about inner city apartment living as much today as it was when they were built. Framed by manicured gardens, the U-shaped low-rise apartments feature distinctive curved Streamline Moderne balconies too.
The "Kia-Ora" apartment complex 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.
After the Great War (1914 - 1918), higher costs of living and the "servant problem" made living in the grand mansions and villas built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras a far less practical and attractive option for both those looking for new housing, and those who lived in big houses. It was around this time, in answer to these problems, that flats and apartments began to replace some larger houses, including those that had formerly lined Melbourne's grand boulevard of St Kilda Road, and became fashionable to live in.
Flats like these would have suited those of comfortable means who could afford to live in such a prestigious and fashionable area, and dispense with the difficulties of keeping a large retinue of staff. With clean lines and large windows, it mirrored the prevailing uncluttered lines of architecture that came out of England after the war.

De style art déco (style « paquebot »), il a été construit sur les plans de l'architecte perpignanais Léon Baille (1862-1951) entre 1928 et 1932 afin de permettre aux touristes devant attendre le changement d'essieux de leur train de passer la nuit. Il comprenait une salle de restaurant, une salle de cinéma et son bar, une scène de théâtre à l'italienne et un court de tennis sur le toit. Construit en ciment armé, il est restauré progressivement après avoir atteint un état de délabrement avancé.

I can't make room for this booth in the super-scale diner I'm building (I'm also out of those red slopes)
I had to wait patiently, nearly a quarter of an hour, to get this shot looking from the Games Room down the entire length of the Dining Room. The Dining Room was one of the most popular rooms in the exhibition, and was often the first people walked into, so there was always someone wandering around the tables. It was worth the wait!
Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.

The Hispano-Suiza Savanna Master 35M was released two years after the initial production run of the 33T model. The 35M addressed several issues, including an unfortunate flaw in the hydraulic bogies of the front nacelles, which caused premature wear and induced a perceptible yaw in the car steering.
In 2020 I submitted the original Savanna Master to the Idea’s website but it fared pretty poorly, barely gathering 250 supports. When it finally expired, I would lie if I said that I did not feel a little disappointed. But now, watching it in retrospective, I understand that it actually had little chances. Ideas is not a site about mocs. It is about sets.
After expiring, I intended to release the LDD file, but first I wanted to address several issues, including wobbly nacelles and some aesthetic choices that could be improved.
Now it is 2022 and, after so much procrastination, I can finally announce the release of its Lego Digital Designer LDD file!
Link: You can download Savanna’s LDD file here.
Link: Lego Digital Designer v4.3.11 and the v20220302 Custom Parts Pack from Eurobricks.

I think the model can also be opened from Bricklink’s Stud.io, but the most recent parts may fail loading.
If anybody builds a version of it, please show it to me. You’ll make me really happy! :-)

One of the great things about wandering round London on the London Flickr Group photowalks is that often we visit parts of London that I've never ventured into previously. Often you find hidden gems such as Ibex House, an Art Moderne mixed use building in Aldgate.

From the Allsop.co.uk website, "The iconic Ibex House stands in a prominent position, occupying an island site of 0.75 acres, just a short walk from Aldgate. This impressive 1930s office building was designed by architects Fuller, Hall and Foulsham in the Streamline Moderne style of Modernist architecture, popularised across the UK by Odeon Cinemas. Today, Ibex House finds itself at the crossroads of London’s creative, financial and tech districts.
The Streamline Moderne, or Art Moderne style encompasses both the elegance and industrial elements of the 1930s. This architectural style is expressed through curving forms, long horizontal lines, and sometimes, nautical elements. At Ibex House, this is represented through black metal-framed windows forming continuous horizontal bands of glazing, and a dramatic curved window beneath a projecting canopy roof.
The Streamline Moderne style can be seen as a rejection of Art Deco: sharp angles were replaced with aerodynamic curves, whilst exotic woods and stone were substituted with sleek concrete and glass. It was also the first architectural style to incorporate electric light into building structure, resulting in an ultra-modern appearance that encapsulated the spirit of the time."

This is the De La Warr Pavillion at Bexhill-on-Sea again. This is the staircase on the north side facing away from the sea. I like the way it juts right out away from the building. The blue lights were off when the sun went down but the reception staff and security guard were very friendly and were happy to switch them on for me when I asked. I don't know whether it had the neon lights in the 1930's although I think neon lights were around before this so it's very possible! Canon Eos 350D with Canon 20-35mm f2.8L

"The old East Side Theater is the last survivor among several historic venues which once catered to African-Americans in Jim Crow-era Savannah. Others, including the Star and the Dunbar, have been lost to history, while the nearby Melody Theater was repurposed as the St. James AME Church. The 675-seat Streamline Moderne structure was designed by local architect Oscar M. Hansen and opened on 14 March 1946. It cost its owner, the Bailey Company, $100,000 to build, which was quite extravagant at the time. Over the years, it also hosted live performers, including James Brown. It closed in 1969, and other than housing Hungry World Missionary and a storage warehouse for a few years, has been empty ever since.
"In recent years, there has been some talk of saving the structure but many references about that effort have mysteriously disappeared as development of the immediate area appears to be going forward. Possible renovation and re-use could come with a new residential development slated to be constructed around it, this is dependent on zoning issues involving height variances. Who knows what the future holds."
