My favourite #cinema is the mythic #Tuschinski Theatre The most famous and most extravagant cinema theatre in #Amsterdam. This is a great example of Amsterdamse school #Architecture with an #artdeco twist.
I love this Art Deco style frieze on an old bank at 162 Hyndland Road in the West End of Glasgow. The building was designed by James McLachlan and was built in 1934.
I'm itch'n to hang at this recently renovated historic San Diego gem. Stunning! Staycation!! Check it out 😍

"The newly reimagined Lafayette Hotel in San Diego has chic '40s energy, gorgeous restaurants and bars with amazing food, and a pool."
I got to enjoy the renovations at the historic Lafayette Hotel yesterday! WOW!! (OG post below for context). A $20 Day Pass for the pool/grounds was a purrfect way to soak it all in w/out breaking the bank. I love Art Deco design and was in awe of the gorgeous details. I'm looking forward to hanging in The Jungle Room where they have live jazz every night. So hip and fun! Hard to believe this oasis is in the middle of a city neighborhood.
The rather wonderful Art Deco facade of the Watt Brothers Department Store building on Bath Street in Glasgow. This part of the buiding was constructed in 1929 and was designed by A. Graham Henderson.
The former W.D. and H.O. Wills Tobacco Factory on Alexandra Parade in Glasgow. Design in 1946 by the Engineers Office of Imperial Tobacco Company, this was one of the last major Art Deco style buildings constructed in Glasgow.
The production of tobacco products ceased here in the early 1990s and for most of that decade it lay unused, apart from a brief stint as the production office for the movie Trainspotting. Eventually it was given a second lease of life when it was turned into offices in the early 2000s.
The former Lyceum Cinema in the Govan area of Glasgow. Built in 1938 on the site of the 1898 Lyceum Music Hall, which burned down in 1937, it was designed by Charles McNair and Robert Elder in a Streamlined International Modern Art Deco style. With a seating capacity of 2,600 it's classified as a suburban super-cinema. Since 1981, it was exclusively used as a bingo hall, but this closes in 2006 and it now lies empty.

A Modern Classical building on the corner on Wilson Street and Candleriggs in Glasgow. Wilson Street is home to a great collection of this style of 1930s Art Deco red sandstone warehouses, mostly by Thomson et al., making is quite a distinctive and unique area of the city.
