Dosta Playhouse, Valdosta, GA

I had to go to Valdosta for an exam at the college there in 2011, and afterwards went for a wander round the city center. I wasn't disappointed - lots of cool old buildings to photograph, but this one in particular stood out for me - the Dosta Playhouse. Built in 1940/41, it's kind of late for Art Deco, but nevertheless displays sufficient characteristics to be identifiable as such. It's featured on the excellent Cinema Treasures website:

For me there's lots to like about the design of this facade. Great that local people have loved it enough to restore it and it's used.
