I would love to hear about or see pictures of all the different places from the Golden Era that are still around where you reside or have traveled. I live near Houston Texas and there are some wonderful places to see. There is an art deco walking tour I looked up online that let's you walk/drive around downtown and see the art deco buildings. Galveston (which is right on the gulf and about 45 minutes away from Houston) has a long interesting history. Howard Hughes is buried in Glenwood Cemetary in Houston. I love to see people and societies preserving these well built works of art. There is a fabulous Ghost Tour in Galveston that starts at the old train station that is of course built in the art deco fashion and had some issues after the hurricane but is still around.
The JP Morgan Bank Building. I gasped when I walked in and looked at the ceiling. People were getting annoyed at me taking pics and the workers were making fun of me because it happens soooo often. One lady wouldn't let me go into a certain area to take pics of the brass fixtures near the elevators. So I stepped back and used zoom Snoody awful attitudes of the people working in such a beautiful preserved example of elegant art deco.
The ceiling
The top of the Esperson Building. My grandfather use to work here and at one time was the tallest building in down town Houston, Texas.
One of the elevators on one part of the Esperson Building. I would love to work in a place like this every day and could just imagine my grandfather catching a ride on one of these stylish elevators to his office!
The middle of the elegant detailed ceiling of Houston's City Hall building. I believe it was built in 1929.
Wonderful paintings and Art Deco clock at City Hall.
Howard Hughes' grave site
Galveston, Texas Train Station.
There are so many more places in these buildings I wish I could post all the pics if I had the time!
