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

The joint was surrounded by sand dunes when it was built in 1937, but now it's surrounded by houses, mainly.
I've already forgotten if these two modern umbrella shaped structures were fountains or not - tough getting old! My older husband reminded me it was not a fountain, just a shade element in modern design :>) Newest news www.nytimes.com/2012/03/06/nyregion/diving-board-in-queen...
I wasn't in Miami Beach to shop but so many people are there for that reason. I thought these mini pants were awfully cute and colorful enough to warrant a photo :>)

I didn't come looking for this diner to photograph but since I love streamline moderne design, I could hardly resist when I saw it on Washington Street.
Beams of light shine across the walkway of Worthing Pier, with the small 1935 Art Deco amusement arcade to the left.
Not my greatest photographic feat but I like to be thorough in my chronicling and these are the only photos I have of this WPA pool project "locker room" buildings with 1936 era metal railings, their cool shadows and glass block windows.

If you look at another of my SoBe photos near this one with a line of hotels including The National, you'll see at the old postcard link there without these couple of hotels. They are newer than late 1930's. Probably 1940's - 50's and maybe not considered art deco but art moderne or Miami modern or ??
If you can't read this and want to, let me know & I could try to sharpen it in Photoshop 6.0 - emphasis on "Try" !!
The Victor gave me a lot of photographic raw material as all these later concrete wall, fence, gate photos prove and you may not realize that it is one "HOT" property in red :>)
