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

Multi-Family Housing - St. Petersburg, Florida
Beach Drive NE - Circa 1925. As I spent several hours trying to track down the address and information I became increasingly frustrated. I had recorded the address as being on 13th Avenue since that is the street that the front of the building faces but the actual address is for the more fashionable Beach Drive. This is a practice that I've come across time and again and it never fails to irritate me. Rant complete.

Normally wouldn't be a fan of that much "gingerbread", but somehow, with that outrageously hyper-textured stucco, and other details, it actually works.
ReplyDeleteWonder what kind of stylish portal/French doors that overgrown bush is obscuring?
