This is certainly the most remote location in which I have found some Art Deco architecture, and what a nice example it is! The Waterbury Dam in Vermont was completed in 1938, as the beautiful wording on this small building atop the dam attests. More details about the dam can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbury_Dam
The angled recess in the doorway is a gem. Unfortunately, and not visible in the photo above, some antisocial person/vandal has broken the glass on the light to the left of the front door. Here's a picture of what it looked like from the front with both lights intact, on a Vermont photography website: http://www.capturemyvermont.com/photos/798902
Even this plaque has nice little Art Deco flourishes in the corners.
It's a beautiful building, quietly aging in this tranquil retreat.
