Title Guarantee And Trust - Los Angeles, California

411 West 5th Street - Located on Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles, this 1930 Art Deco structure was designed by John and Donald Parkinson who also designed the fantastic Bullock's Wilshire.  These days it is home to the Title Guarantee Lofts which you might know as the home of the contestants during Season Six of Project Runway.

Kress Building - Daytona Beach, Florida

140 South Beach Street - This 1932 structure might be one of the most beautiful Kress buildings I've seen.  There is such a variety of texture and ornamentation and I love how it almost looks like a fortress and yet still manages to maintain an art deco feel.

2477 Royal Drive - I'm guessing that I had exited of the Interstate here back in 2009 for gas or food and happened to spot this charming little castle.
