I have a love of all architecture but especially art deco and mid-century modern.

Kapok Tree Inn - Clearwater, Florida
923 North McMullen Booth Road - Circa 1957. Though the Kapok Tree Inn closed in 1991 the building and gardens still exist and house other businesses. I've posted a few postcards of the Kapok Tree in Clearwater on Vintage Travel Postcards. You might also want to visit this website for more on the Kapok Tree.
Ranney and I did a show here with Undergroundlinks (a theatre group we formed in 1997). Also, I used to like to take visiting friends to tour the building and gardens, especially because they were near Ruth Eckerd Hall. The music store that occupied the space in those days had some fascinating items, as well - the Jimmy Page signature series Les Paul Gibson was, of course, the most compelling to me.
