It seems hard to believe that this old Greyhound terminal in DC is still there. The office tower recently added to the back attempts to incorporate a slight moderne feel to it as well.
Here's the newly painted structure with toilets across the street from the three similar original bus shelters all in a row in front of the Royal Pavilion. (I knew about these remaining art deco streamline moderne bus shelters from the 1930's because I stumbled upon them near the Royal Pavilion last visit to Brighton in 2007. They were in better shape 6 years ago, maybe they just need some love and a new coat of paint. The one across the street that houses a public toilet soon to be opened is in better condition but is it as old? Here's the photo from 6 years ago to compare: www.flickr.com/photos/catchesthelight/518057116 "Further south on Old Steine, on the other side of the road, is a larger tram shelter (also Grade II listed) which incorporates public toilets as well, but the design is very similar (it now houses a cafe). Intriguingly however, the Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society claims it has evidence from the archives of Brighton Corporation’s Land and Works Committee that English Heritage got its facts all wrong. The Society says the larger shelter dates from 1936, while the three smaller ones were built much later, in 1950, to match the earlier shelter. In that case they never served Brighton’s trams at all, but rather their trolleybus replacements." thebeautyoftransport.com/2013/09/11/gimme-stylish-shelter...
Construcción del Edificio Veroes (Arq. Gustavo Wallis). Esquina Veroes, Av. Urdaneta con Boulevard Panteón. Caracas
A very cool, renovated original design of the Clevelander pool & lounge :>)) The last time I was in South Beach in 2008, this classy hotel was under renovations so I didn't take but 1 photo.
Extremely art deco but that is appropriate since it is a museum of art deco ephemera and details. You may find better info online but they do have a site: www.wolfsonian.org

This hotel was a different name and a different color when I photographed it in 2008: www.flickr.com/photos/catchesthelight/3032306018/
Opened in 1939 this iconic Los Angeles building has been a major passenger rail terminal and transit station ever since, I shot a series of photos, mostly of the beautiful Mission/Deco Style interior and this is the fifth image of that series.

Architects; Welch & Lander, 1931.
Greatly influenced by Charles Holden during the golden age of transport architecture in London. Apparently Lander worked for Holden before starting his own practice.
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
Architect: Charles Holden, 1933, reinforced concrete, Cornish granite and steel-framed glazing. Circular underground station in the Streamline Moderne Art Deco style. The design of the exuberant roof finial was adopted from the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition, according to English Heritage. Regarded as one of Charles Holden's best underground stations and Grade II* listed. London Borough of Enfield.
The posh guests were out early (or never went in :>) talking on their cell phones and except only one is holding a cell phone, they could have been texting each other as that seems to be common in the same space these days! Their postures and attire are a type of communicating as well -

The De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on Sea in East Sussex (UK) is a Grade I listed modernist art deco gallery and auditorium. This is a spiral art deco staircase inside.
The Pavilion was built in 1935 and designed by architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff.
Nice shot by David on his travels and posted here with very kind permission.
The Lofts at Hollywood and Vine features an interesting neon sign. What caught my eye is the small Capitol Records building replica at the top which progressively blinks on and off in red and yellow neon. ♫ Anybody know what this building was originally? It looks like it may have been built in the 1920's or '30's. The neon sign is new.
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.
The Robert Silhan Home in Berwyn (1936). It is an unusual example of a small Streamline Moderne residence; most residences in this style were much larger.
We stopped in Virginia, Minnesota on our way up to Ely in July. There on one of the main streets through town was the Maco Theater building (now the Cornerstone Family Church). One tidbit on Cinema Treasures revealed that the Maco was designed by the Minneapolis-based firm of Liebenberg & Kaplan and opened in 1938 in Streamline Moderne style, a late form of Art Deco. Liebenberg & Kaplan is the same architectural firm that designed the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis.
Here's a link to a vintage photo of the main street through Virginia, Minnesota. The Maco Theater marquee is in the distance. cinematreasures.org/theaters/8141

ARCHIVE 365: Since the completion of BlackBerry 365 in 2010, I have missed a daily photo practice. There are so many photos from my archives that no one has ever seen but me. So I asked skywire7 if she wanted to do a daily practice for one year, taking turns posting an unpublished photograph from the past.
Archive 365 is a photo collaboration between skywire7 and QuoinMonkey featuring images from our archives. We will alternate posting once a day in our Flickr sets from July 1st 2012 through June 30th 2013. You can view our photographs at skywire7 Archive 365 set on Flickr and QuoinMonkey Archive 365 set on Flickr.

Now for sale. K. Palace says they made very fine can openers.
This was part of a wave of school building during the therties. This powerful and untypical building was designed by M. Cuminal and Roger Lardat in 1938 and becaming genuine landmark in the urban environment. ----------- (PAR_1207_1423). Image copyrighted.
Ravelston Garden, or "the Jenners Flats" after the original managing agents, is a striking grade A listed art deco housing development, in the steamline moderne style, in an upmarket neighbourhood of Edinburgh. It is by Andrew Neil and Robert Hurd, dating from 1935. There are three 4-storey blocks, with elegant curving garages and service blocks at ground level and well manicured, terraced lawns.
Each block is a wide "X" when viewed from above and there are external staircases around a streamlined chimney breast recessed between the legs of the X.

Even with the inside gutted and body stripped of external ornaments, It still looks solid. A classic example of Streamline Moderne design.
