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.
Designed by 3 teams of architects led by Raymond Hood, with help from a young Wallace Harrison, Rockefeller Center is the largest private building project of modern times, comprising 19 buildings with a total of more than 8 million square feet of floor space on a 22 acre site. The 14 buildings that make up the original Art Deco core were completed in 1939.
Motor in here and your ride will sleep soundly too.
This motel has garages. With doors. Just like home.

Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 138, designed around existing buildings in 1936 by Robert V. Derrah.
What a lot of lovely Art Deco to Streamline Moderne architecture there is right on the first street you come to along Miami Beach's South Beach.
a newer multiplex with an IMAX to boot. nice to see some classic style retrofitted into a new building, the lettering is a bit hard to read and the lack of neon is a shame.
Sorry this pool building shot is so pixelated but that's what you get with my old camera on zoom - only shot, so .... Newest news www.nytimes.com/2012/03/06/nyregion/diving-board-in-queen...

"This art-deco project on the seafront, locally known as 'the Skyscraper', was built to resemble the superstructure of the Queen Mary, a passenger line. In 1937, when it was completed, it housed 153 flats and 3 restaurants. It was the tallest block of flats in the United Kingdom.
In the 1960s it was home to The Cobweb, also known as the Witch Doctor – a nightclub that saw Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and other luminaries play.
Though a listed building, it is in a poor state of repair and awaiting the outcome of planning enquiries. The general condition of the exterior has suffered from the sea air and general neglect; the shop fronts on the ground floor have had their external finishing altered and changed. It has a number of inappropriate modern double glazed, plastic framed windows out of keeping with the original 'Crittall' style frames. Although it may look good from Hastings and the A259, it’s just a shabby block of flats if you look at it from St. Leonards." nicebrighton.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/the-history-of-st-l...
Hot Fish / Beauty Supply
Granite City, IL
Love how the fish's bubbles are reflected in the little porthole windows on the building. This sign has recently disappeared.
An updated shot of the Marina Mart, a Streamline Moderne building at Westlake. As noted before the simpler, more aerodynamic structure as well as nautical themed details set Streamline Moderne apart from the contemporary Art Deco designs.
This Greyhound station didn't look very busy. There was one guy waiting nearby, hanging out for a few hours until his transfer bus came. 215 W Bonneville St, Pocatello, ID.
I'm so glad this was saved. Originally a very posh hotel for the great exhibition, then later the ICI building and then halls of residence for Strathclyde Uni, the exterior has been saved and the interior transformed into luxury apartments.
All that's left for me to photograph: the Ironwood Theatre in Ironwood, MI, on the far western edge of the Upper Peninsula.
See another of my photos of these art deco bus shelters from my first trip to Birghton in 2007: "Brighton, on Britain’s south coast, is one city which has lost its tramway. But it hasn’t lost everything. Brighton’s most famous building is the Royal Pavilion, a bizarre and flamboyant piece of sunny faux Orientalism plonked on the grey and drizzly shores of Britain at the behest of King George IV (one of the less popular members of the British royal family). It’s Grade I listed by statutory heritage organisation Historic England and is probably one of the most eye-catching buildings in Britain.
Yet readers of this blog may find their eyes drawn instead to a collection of buildings just outside the Pavilion. On Old Steine stand some rather super survivors of Brighton’s tram system in the shape of three waiting shelters. Estimated to have been constructed around 1926, probably by Borough Engineer David Edwards, this trio of tram shelters are in what Historic England terms “International Style”. But they look Streamline Moderne to me. They have rounded ends, and matching overhanging roofs. Construction is of concrete, with metal glazing bars. They are open to the road side (for getting on and off trams) but glazed on the pavement side (for preventing draughts).
Historic England’s predecessor English Heritage listed the shelters at Grade II. Best of all, they are still in use in as bus shelters to this day. They are nearly 90 years old but continue to serve the public transport users of Brighton admirably and stylishly." thebeautyoftransport.com/2013/09/11/gimme-stylish-shelter...
Train No. 29 (Capitol Limited) (Washington, D.C. – Chicago, IL) is stopped at Toledo for passengers, in addition to a crew change.
So many different kinds of glass in windows all over SoBe and this photo seems to showcase that quite 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.
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.
For an explanation about this building: www.flickr.com/photos/catchesthelight/7235107404 (I think my new grandson is on his way in the wee hours of 5/21 :>)
Norfolk Southern No. 7506 (GE ES40DC), assisted by BNSF No. 7190 (GE ES44C4), pulls a westbound freight train past the Toledo Amtrak Station.
Here the positive space is the Chrysler or Empire State building in silver in this adjoining interior space where it says "EAT" on the roof. Just weeks before this NYC landmark closed its doors after 65 years or so of 1st class food service
Twilight settles on the Los Angeles Maritime Museum in San Pedro Monday, Sept. 2, 2024. The 1941 building, an example of the Streamline Moderne style of architecture, was originally the San Pedro Municipal Ferry Terminal Building. Before the construction of the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the 1960s rendered it obsolete, the ferry provided a connection from the mainland to the many docks and canneries on Terminal Island.
Dusk in South Beach at the end of my grand architectural tour and now I'm spotting cultural details :>)))))

It features horizontal window bands punctuated by a central entrance bay with a vertical emphasis.
