I like industrial modern design as showcased in this "showcase" :>)) www.wolfsonian.org/explore/collections/travel-iron
The Ukiah Theatre was built in the 1940's. It is an excellent example of Streamline Moderne architecture.
The former Simpson's was the first shop in Britain to have an uninterrupted curved-glass frontage. The construction is of welded steel, made possible by arc-welding, supporting panel walls of brickwork. (LON_DSCN4514 - Image copyrighted).

I dislike the words "streamline moderne" and I have successfully avoided speaking the words throughout my life: "See where this commercial bldg has got small touches of ahem ahem."

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
Looking back from the pool still in use to the really cool vintage diving board and pool not in use almost 75 years later. Newest news www.nytimes.com/2012/03/06/nyregion/diving-board-in-queen...

The crown jewel of Newman, CA is the West Side Theatre. It first opened in 1940 and was refurbished in the late 1990's.
Norfolk Southern No. 7506 (GE ES40DC), assisted by BNSF No. 7190 (GE ES44C4), pulls a westbound freight train past the Toledo Amtrak Station.
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 of Miami modern or ??
These chairs in context remind me of some of what I found at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in their 20th century furniture collections. I wish I could tell you if these old chairs were original to the Winterhaven but I can't - I'm just assuming they are period art deco and found nearby in Miami Beach.

- Stan Arkin / LandLord rep. construction The architecture sure looks art deco and the concrete ball in foreground is probably part of one of Morris Lapidus' artworks also uniquely advertising the realty in Miami Beach.

There are nice little date-marked canopies over the side doors at the Municipal Auditorium.
In order to make the model as accurate as possible, I used visual scaling to study the scale of the building and its features in the old photos. Then I drew up the north-east elevation as a guide to make the model.
In order to figure out unidentified areas that were not shown in the photos, I needed to use my architectural knowledge, and at the same time considering how would the original architect designed his building.
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.
This streamline moderne design caught my eye right away as we drove by so on the way back, we stopped so I could chronicle it for me & you :>))
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.
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.

Tower Bridge over the Sacramento River. Picture was taken from the west at sunset, looking towards downtown Sacramento. The bridge was built in 1935 as part of the New Deal, it is considered to be a remarkable example of the Streamline Moderne style of design.
A S Horne Ltd. opened in 1934 as a ladies glove manufacturer. Now well renowned for protective apparel particularly for the fishing enthusiast, but also farmers alike, as they make waders and rubber boots. Alexander Stainthorpe Horne could hardly have forseen how the business would develop!

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).
