Every thinking person in the city would have known, in 1926-28, that Howard Carter had discovered the intact tomb of Tutankhamun only a few years earlier. <br /><br />Not only historically timely, but exotic architecture as well :)Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989779602103737857.post-29690694867460573112012-03-06T09:55:10.792+11:002012-03-06T09:55:10.792+11:00I think they are original Helen but without detail...I think they are original Helen but without detailed research it is hard to say for sure.<br /><br />I written about a few other Egyptian influenced buildings <br /><br />Empress Theatre in Montreal<br /><a href="http://artdecobuildings.blogspot.com.au/2009/11/empress-theatre-montreal.html" rel="nofollow">http://artdecobuildings.blogspot.com.au/2009/11/empress-theatre-montreal.html</a><br /><br />former Carlton Cinema, Islington<br /><a href="http://artdecobuildings.blogspot.com.au/2009/10/former-carlton-cinema-islington.html" rel="nofollow">http://artdecobuildings.blogspot.com.au/2009/10/former-carlton-cinema-islington.html</a><br /><br />former Carreras Cigarette Factory, London<br /><a href="http://artdecobuildings.blogspot.com.au/2008/03/carreras-cigarette-factory-london.html" rel="nofollow">http://artdecobuildings.blogspot.com.au/2008/03/carreras-cigarette-factory-london.html</a>David Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559022801796129763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989779602103737857.post-46242350304688745302012-03-06T09:40:53.568+11:002012-03-06T09:40:53.568+11:00Thank you.
