This magnificent building is the former Sinclair's Store in the centre of Belfast.
The flat facade across the corner site is dominated by this large deco clock which is stepped out and up from the parapet.
At ground level the entrance is sheltered by a large ribbed verandah while the spandrels below each window carry a deco medallion inscribed with an 'S' to denote Sinclair's, the stores owners.
MELBOURNE ART DECO
In 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.
great shots Dave love the third one with the curved section.
