Rúa do Areal, 18, 36201 Vigo, Pontevedra, Spain (1928)

This building at 18 Rúa do Areal in Vigo has many beautiful Art Deco features. It is currently occupied by a variety of businesses, that include a rock bar, a restaurant, and a women's clothes shop. All I could find out about it was that it was built in 1928 and has the initials EP accompanying the date over the main door.

Waterbury Dam, Vermont, 1938


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.
