For many years it was Andre Beauty Salon.

Lo...No doubt the glass tower has seen better days. Looking at the photo on the Heritage Victoria site, the building looks white or cream. I don't know if that's the original colour but it's certainly more likely than this blue.David Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559022801796129763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989779602103737857.post-83631423789772420032013-12-19T09:52:37.026+11:002013-12-19T09:52:37.026+11:00The curved bands going down to the verandah still ...The curved bands going down to the verandah still look in excellent condition but the glass tower, which must have once been stunning, needs attention urgently.

It had nearly 100 people. So the turk sultan rented the entire today's old city to british companies so the british build the city: over 200 buildings, railway, the seaport etc. After 1900 when Romania takes over the Dobrudgea Region the number of the british companies and the us companies grew so of course they influenced the local architecture. I've just started a blog that i'll hope to make the hub for the old city. I have a special section dedicated to the local art deco. Some of the buildings resemble New York Style art deco and some Miami Style of art deco.<br />here is one of the most well rpeserved buildings is this hotel:<br /><br />[IM]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1s6igGkzemI/UjY33oZbifI/AAAAAAAAovE/PFcgRxJqqpk/s1600/ferdinand.jpg[/IM]UCT Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208454187882537854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989779602103737857.post-42679459518654609572013-12-16T22:11:30.095+11:002013-12-16T22:11:30.095+11:00Thanks Robin!

Here in Constanta, Romania we have a very large number of art deco buildings. from small residential villas to apartment buildings, schools, hospitals and other public buildings. Imust say that the things i like the most about the buildings are the doors.UCT Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208454187882537854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989779602103737857.post-10109396454285443962013-12-16T21:38:28.289+11:002013-12-16T21:38:28.289+11:00Love this building but that is a weird pot on the ...Love this building but that is a weird pot on the roofline.
