Was just driving down the street yesterday in Boyle Heights, as one does, and drove by this lovely #ArtDeco building at 2619 E 8th Street. What a nice surprise !

1360 Montgomery St- #SanFrancisco• AKA the Malloch Building. Not the easiest building to get photos of since its 4 stories are nestled on a steep hillside. Sea views & the Coit Tower are just a brisk walk away. #ArtDeco #mallochbuilding 📸:me/02/07/2025 #TelegraphHill

Well well well, I guess I did get photos of the Medic Building in Chicago before they tore it down around 2017 @dmercer.bsky.social . It was a dreary April day, as you can tell. #Chicago #MedicBuilding #Demolished #2012Photo

Spring Stirring-Donal Hord. Displayed in La Jolla @ the Scripps Oceanographic Institute. After photographing Donal's exterior work, you learn you need to bring a soft cloth & water to clean dust & bird poop off if you want to create a quality exposure. #ArtDeco #DonalHord #LaJolla #SanDiegoCounty

It seems like you can't go 300 feet on Taraval Street without bumping into another Art Deco building: EVEN THE 7-Eleven is Art Deco ! This one is 318 Taraval Street. 📸: me/02/2025 My #SanFrancisco #ArtDeco map: www.google.com/maps/d/edit?...

Walked around Santa Ana on Saturday. Always fun when I discover an awesome building that I didn't even know existed. Now the Rafferty Apartments. As you can see they kept the Art Deco front & put a massive apartment complex behind it. #ArtDeco #SantaAna #California #Rafferty

More children should have the experience of learning in an Art Deco environment. Sayre Language Academy, 1850 N. Newland (John C. Christensen, 1928-29). (Venn diagram with @marigoldmimsy.bsky.social and @artdecodude.bsky.social)

Corner shot, with gate visible in foreground, of three-story school building, tan brick with light gray terra cotta. Many piers and vertical ridges on facade.

Color photo of an entrance to a three-story building in tan brick, with gray terra cotta around entrance and on parapet. Entrance section has a blue speckled arch above the front door and tall windows separated by green spandrels. Decoration on parapet (triangles, barely visible flowers, and segments ending in irregular pentagons) look Art Deco. Snow on the ground in pic.

Color photo of a field of snow and a big school building in tan brick, three stories on the right, down to left story on left, feat. smokestack. Main section has terra cotta decoration on parapet and green window spandrels. U.S. flag, seemingly at three stories, on the far right.

The #MayanRevival Aztec Hotel in #Monrovia , #california along Route 66, yes, the same one Bobby Troop & Depeche Mode implored us to get our kicks on. It hasn’t been operating as a hotel for about 20 years, but it’s not abandoned: there is a bar & grill and barber shop up in the front.📸:me/2016
