Miami is a Deco town because private homes and later hotels were given gorgeous Deco facades in the inter-war period. The joy of this building is that it was, presumably, a public facility and not privately owned. I love it.
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.

ReplyDeleteI agree Helen. Sometimes government can to a bit old-fashioned and conservative so it is good to see them adopt the latest styles, whatever the era.
