Apartments, Montevideo

Apartments, Montevideo

Avenida 18 de Julio in Montevideo is lined with interesting buildings including this apartment block above a shoe shop (I think).

    A lot of Deco architecture looks as if it copied other buildings, not necessarily in the same city. But I can't think what your Montevideo block might have been modelled on.

    What I find interesting with this style, is the off-centre aspect was used to provide an illusion of enormity, usually done for a up-hill viewing perspective.
