Dusk in South Beach at the end of my grand architectural tour and now I'm spotting cultural details :>)))))
Downtown Phoenix is a lot like downtown Charlotte and downtown Salt Lake City where most of the built environment from the past has been obliterated. Hanny's is an exception and it's been nicely adaptively reused into a restaurant.
Hanny's was designed by local architects Lester & Mahoney and opened in 1947. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places #85002058.
I wish I had a keyboard that could add "tildes" and accent marks. This second most popular pedestrian mall in SoBe shows more of the Mediterranean Style than Art Deco.

Built 1932 at Pier 10, originally as a shipping office. Listed in 2001 and opened in 2005 as the Restaurant Pier. Now operating as a sandwich shop. De Ruijterkade Steiger 10, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
This beautiful Streamline Moderne building was built in 1938 using funds from the Public Works Administration (WPA), a New Deal agency. It served as the town's library and Community Center until 2014.
Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 183, designed by Plummer, Wurdeman, and Becketin 1935, demolished in 1992 following a 1989 fire.
I just like the design features like the curved vs. the straight lines, etc. Newest news www.nytimes.com/2012/03/06/nyregion/diving-board-in-queen...
I found it and would love to know how to buy it and bring it back to its 1940 glory - These are my favorite photos from Brunswick, GA!:>)!:>)!
Although all the rooms of the Rone - Empire installation exhibition are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study is one of them. It 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.
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 is one. 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.
Such anticipation to return to SoBe in daylight with views of the highrise hotels on the skyline, palm trees and even the working shipping cranes to the right.
I will try to find out which hotel this depression era building used to be but in the meantime, Enjoy it!
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...
The art deco hotel I stayed in for 2 separate nights is called the Riviere Apart Hotel (as in apartments) but I put it all together again for you with the best views in collage.
Classic Sea-View room #118 at the refurbished Midland Hotel, Morecambe. The interior design features this innovative wood module concealing the bathroom, wardrobe, television and fridge - see the next photo.
Designed in Streamline Moderne style by architect Oliver Hill, with sculptures by Eric Gill, the hotel was built by the London Midland & Scottish Railway and opened in 1933. It finally closed in 1998 and lay derelict until it was restored in 2006-2008 and reopened as a hotel again.

I had some more fun with what I think is even more modern Streamline Moderne style architecture at photoshop.

Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 138, designed around existing buildings in 1936 by Robert V. Derrah.
Village Theatre - Faribault, Minnesota
Architect: Perry E. Crosier
"In 1946, Perry Crosier, in association with the firm of Liebenberg & Kaplan, completely remodeled the Village in late Streamline Moderne style. The theater originally opened in the 20s, in a structure dating to the 1890s built as an armory.
The theater survived into the 70s, and after closing, housed a bar and later an appliance store. The former Village was converted into a church a couple years ago, with its lobby and facade restored to their 40s appearance."

A 1930 Deco building designed by Charles Holden.
The section of the High Barnet branch north of East Finchley was incorporated into the London Underground network through the "Northern Heights" project begun in the late 1930s.
This sculpture was designed by Eric Aumonier, and points south to Archway
Watch as the façade curves around to the metal-framed glass door, with a sidelight on the left. Wow, do you see it?
The dark blue awning with beige stripes is so perfect for the building, why, I cannot even imagine the building without it.
