SLC, UT
Still in business as an "art house," the Tower received a streamline-moderne facelift back when those were in vogue.
This was processed in-camera using the D-Lighting function, which after about 6590 shots I decided to try out. I can't remember if the effect was set to low, medium or high, but it's overdone it a bit.

I think this hotel was on Washington Street which runs parallel to Collins and Ocean. I like the upkeep aspect.
There were many homeless people sleeping out in Miami Beach's very temperate climate on the beach, in the parks or here on the doorstep of an art deco hotel in rennovation.
El Edificio Carrión, también conocido como Edificio Capitol, es uno de los más conocidos de la Gran Vía madrileña.
El edificio, de catorce plantas, fue construído entre 1931 y 1933. Es de estilo art déco, utiliza materiales como mármol y granito. Pero lo más destacado en su época fueron los adelantos tecnológicos que incorporaba, como el uso de vigas de hormigón tipo Vierendel, la utilización de telas ingnífugas o el sistema de refrigeración, el primero centralizado de Madrid y que ocupaba toda una planta.
El luminoso de neón de la marca Schweppes situado en las plantas superiores es uno de los símbolos de la Gran Vía y de la ciudad y ha aparecido en numerosas películas, como El día de la Bestia.
Pues algo cansado de subir fotos de Roma (todavia me queda alguna jiji) he dicido variar aunque sea solo una, cuando en Octubre paseaba haciendo turismo por la Gran Via, al ver el edificio de la famosa escena del dia de la bestia no me pude resistir a hacerle varias fotos.
1940, Wischmeyer, Arrasmith & Elswick

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 :>))
A rare example of Art Deco/Streamline Moderne in Annapolis
The marquee reads "Subway"
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/
I haven't seen this view of the Shelborne Hotel's lettering and covered entryway here at flickr. And I caught some other signs off in the distance - Marseilles and The Richmond.
My telephoto really only pixelates these skyscraping towers but I only had one chance to try and get it all ... so ....

"Marine Court"
"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...
The times I had to photograph were limited since I was really on a trip to see my Mom in the N. of FL but I enjoyed my early morning walk with less tourists to impede my architectural views. 1450 Collins Ave. Jerry's Famous Deli. Formerly Hoffman's Cafeteria, the Warsaw Ballroom, Club Ovo, and the China Club. Hohauser, 1939.
Did you catch my double nuance here? LOL I'm having fun both visiting and revisiting Miami Beach thru my photos!!
NS No. 3206 (EMD SD40-2) is the trailing locomotive on this eastbound freight train. This engine was originally built in December 1972 as SOU No. 3206. When Southern Railway was absorbed into NS in the early 1980s, the engine was renamed NS No. 3206 to reflect the new ownership.

Alden Minnesota's Municipal Building contains the City Hall, Public Works, and the Fire House, complete with vintage truck.
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...
