Morecambe Bay Shrimps on Toast in the Ravilious Rotunda Bar of the Midland Hotel, Morecambe, UK - so named after the artist Eric Ravilious, whose murals (now lost) originally decorated the bar's interior walls.
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.
This Streamline Moderne style building was constucted in the late 1930's to house the State's growing bureaucracy. It features horizontal window bands, punctuated by a central entrance bay with vertical emphasis.
Shot through a moving bus window caught me almost unawares:>) This building used to be in Ovingdean but now Ovingdean is part of Brighton - anyway, it was a complete happy surprise to me! "Blind Veterans UK opened its flagship training, convalescent, care and holiday centre in Ovingdean, Brighton in 1938. The Brighton centre was one of the very first buildings in Britain purpose-built for those with a disability and every aspect of its construction was specially designed for blind and partially sighted visitors and residents. Shortly after its opening, the Architect and Building News praised the centre’s "magnificent views over the Downs and out to sea", as well as the thought that had gone into making the building ideal for the blind. The centre's residents included World War I veteran Henry Allingham, born 1896, who was briefly the oldest man in the world until his death in 2009." Wikipedia
Amtrak EMD F40PH NPCU No. 406. Originally built for Amtrak in July 1988 by General Motors Electro-Motive Division as a 3,000 horsepower F40PH locomotive, engine No. 406 was rebuilt as a Non-Powered Control Unit (NPCU) in 2011 at Amtrak’s Beech Grove, IN maintenance facility. This engine also provides Head End Power (HEP) to power the lights and HVAC systems onboard the train.
"Riawena" is a wonderfully stylised Streamline Moderne Art Deco Villa in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury. Its name is taken from the Australian Aboriginal word for "fun" or "sport", which is an unusual choice in the 1930s, when so many people were naming their houses after English or American places.
Standing on the corner of a busy main thoroughfare and a much quieter side street, this well proportioned stand alone villa is extremely large and sprawling, with its original garage next to it behind a high wall. The clean uncluttered lines of the house, the speed lines around the pedement of the rounded portico, feature bricks in geometric patterns and the overall low slung design of the house are very Streamline Moderne in design.
The whole property is surrounded by a low fence with plain pillars and wrought-iron swirls inserts and a gate featuring a geometric Art Deco pattern.
The tree in blossom in this photograph is a prunus; a genus of trees and shrubs, which includes the plums, cherries, peaches, apricots and almonds. This is an ornamental variety, which burst into blossom almost a month before usual owing to an unusually warm spell of weather just prior to the photograph being taken.

From cinematreasures.org:
"A beautiful Streamline Moderne structure opened on September 11, 1941. It closed in the mid-1970's as a movie theatre and stood empty for 13 years. The exterior is in its original state and looks fantastic. The interior has been restored to a nostalgic 1940's style and feel."
Alden, Minnesota's Municipal Building is an excellent example of PWA Moderne, circa 1938 by St. Paul architect William Ingemann.
A most photographed streamline modern hotel in SoBe that at least at one time had its back on Lincoln Rd. My version is a little photoshopped shooting into the afternoon sun.
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.
Surprising find of a streamline moderne former train depot in Nyssa, Oregon. The depot appears to now be a private business. The rail line is Union Pacific. I could find no information on the depot itself.

In spite of its name this school is located in the Potrero Hill neighborhood, not downtown. However, there is a nice view of the actual downtown.

Confusingly, there is also a "Downtown High School" listed as being located at 110 Bartlett Street between 22nd and 23rd Streets.
As you can see from today's upload of 5 photos of the Greystone Hotel on Collins Ave. in South Beach, Miami, I had some fun with shapes and colors and brought out some of the finer deco details by so doing :>)
More concrete decorative fencing in front of the Chatham caused me to look that way. The Crest is a boutique hotel.
Continued progress on the Avenal Theater restoration/rebuild that I spoke about here:

The Aquatic Park Bathhouse, showing the lido, watchtower and one of the bathing pavilions.
Built in 1937, it's a fine example of "Streamlined Moderne" style, an offshoot of Art Deco.
NS No. 9245 (GE C44-9W) and NS No. 8397 (GE C40-8W) pull an eastbound freight train past the Toledo Amtrak Station. The latter engine was originally built in June 1993 as Conrail No. 6191 (GE C40-8W). In 1999, when 58 percent of Conrail was absorbed into Norfolk Southern, the engine was renamed and renumbered to reflect the new ownership.
The Co-Operative Department Store is the finest example of Pre-WWII Modernist building in Derby City Centre. It was built 1938-40 and designed in-house by Derby Co-Operative Society's own architect, Sid Bailey - and having been built by the D.C.S's own Building Department it is completely 'Made In Derby'. Can there be a finer example of Streamline Moderne glazing going round a street corner anywhere else in the UK?
This view shows the wooden panels that mark the end of Pre-WWII construction (the older building at the far left-hand edge should originally have been demolished to make way for the new) which somehow never ever recommenced - a very unusual and special feature which shows exactly where the ordinary, peacetime world came to an end to be replaced by the unplanned-for chaos of wartime.
This Streamline Moderne style building was constucted in the late 1930's to house the State's growing bureaucracy. It features horizontal window bands, punctuated by a central entrance bay with vertical emphasis.
Ann Arbor Railroad No. 3879 (EMD GP38). This engine was originally built in October 1969 as PC No. 7802. This engine was acquired by the Ann Arbor Railroad in the mid 1980s and subsequently received its current designation as WAMX No. 3879.
So I flew in & out of Orlando in June to see my Mom in the north of FL and on my way back went an older "scenic" road and in the midst of terrible thunderstorms took these serendipitous photos of an old dry cleaners. I was really brave folks to get out of my car, a lone woman after dark in this neighborhood and with lightning all around me - no flash here as usual -
