Apartment Building, 50 Rúa de García Barbón, Vigo, Galicia (1942)


This fine-looking apartment building in downtown Vigo is at 50 Rúa de García Barbón. It has some classic Art Deco features and a polished black marble foundation stone signed by the architect, whose flambouyant signature looks like Francisco Pastore (?).

Main Post Office, 1927-1931, Plaza del Alcalde Manuel Casas, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain

This beautiful main post office in A Coruna was featured on a 2002 Spanish postage stamp. Built between 1927 and 1931 on land reclaimed from the sea, the architects of this eye-catching gem were Luis Lozano Losilla and Joaquin Otamendi Machimbarrena. All components of this large building, which is easily the best-designed construction in this part of the city, seem to flow easily one into the next, they are so well-coordinated.
