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.

Cardiff, Wales: Cardiff Railway Station, 1927

Although the exterior of Cardiff Station exhibits some Art Deco features, it is the beautiful ticket hall that really shines. While many of Cardiff's buildings from that era have vanished, thanks to liberal use of the wrecking ball, the Station is still in great shape and likely to be around for a while yet.

On a couple of the platforms can be found tile-clad waiting rooms in the color scheme of the old Great Western Railway - green, cream, and brown:

Cardiff Station is a real piece of class in an otherwise rather ugly part of the city.

Frist TN Community Art Gallery, formerly Nashville Main Post Office

The former Nashville Main Post Office is an absolute gem of a building, fortunately preserved, and now utilized as the TN Community Art Gallery. Information about the building can be found on the Frist website, along with some virtual tours:

Both the exterior and interior of the building are a treasure trove of design features. I was informed that it barely escaped the wrecking ball!!! Enjoy:
