Flats, Goulburn

I love the porthole windows in the garage door of this block of flats in Goulburn.

Looking a bit sad.

Beavers, Canada

Architects during the Art Deco period often incorporated local flora and fauna into the decoration of the buildings. Here's a collection of beavers from Toronto, Ottawa & Montreal.

Edificio Argentino, Buenos Aires

On Lavalle, a block off glitzy Avenida Corrientes, you'll find Edificio Argentino. Its name spelt out on the corner of the building under a stylish clock. The round tower is topped with a stepped dome culminating in a simple flagpole. Lions heads sit at the quarter points under the lip of the dome.

A number of other reliefs punctuate the decorative band below the second storey.

Shops, Numurkah

McPherson's Mensland and Brostace Country Kitchen in Numurkah

Tarcutta RSL & Citizens Club

Tarcutta is halfway between Sydney and Melbourne. It used to be on the main road but now the Hume Highway by-passes the town. Since Tarcutta is worth a short detour to see the Australian Truck Drivers' Memorial, the Art Deco Horse & Jockey Hotel and the Modernist RSL & Citizens Club. The club, as well as providing a bowling green, squash court and poker machines, also includes that wonderful quaint Australian tradition of a family restaurant serving Australian & Chinese meals.

Apartments, Montevideo

Avenida 18 de Julio in Montevideo is lined with shops at street level many with several floors of apartments above. This is one such building. Metal railed balconies occupy the central section of the building but as is often the case the top floor reveals the best decoration. Here we have a pair of reliefs, mirror images, depicting a female figure tending a brazier.
