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 :>)
The Strand Cinema was my old cinema. It closed for a few years and has been opened again with this gorgeous light.

The Berwyn Municipal Hall, another example of a PWA building in Berwyn (1939). At the time, Berwyn was a settlement site for Czech immigrants, and the Czech Cubism movement likely influenced the building's design. It was designed by the Burnham and Hammond architectural firm--Hubert Burnham was one of Daniel H. Burnham's sons.
Close-up of a vintage teal and yellow bus, showcasing its chrome-rimmed headlights, rounded contours, and aged patina. The classic styling and retro details evoke the golden age of American bus travel and mid-century industrial design.
First home of KEHE in 1936 ( Hearst Radio, Inc) later KFI / KECA 141 North Vermont, LA, CA. This is not an original photo, the studio is long gone.

The Weis Theatre opened in 1946 and lasted until 1980. The Savannah College of Art and Design took over and renovated the theater, while renaming it the Trustees Theater. The building is currently used for movies, live performances, and school-related functions.
Broughton Street, Savannah.
So Art Deco with its three part front, classical design panels and deco lettering. Best to show it off in collage!
The streamline modern Ann Arbor Bus Depot has a new look. A hotel is being built around the historic facade. One can read about it here: www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2014/06/ann_arbors.... The old depot looks lost in the new development. Like many of these cases where a historically significant building's facade is saved as part of a new structure, the result is a pastiche. It is great part of it is being preserved, but it could have been better.

I have found no records of this ever having been a movie theater. More likely it was a diner. See the discussion here: www.flickr.com/photos/army_arch/406452389/
