Classical, gothic, art deco—- anything other than another square building with no character.

It’s depressing every time I see a new building going up. The same box shape with bland colors. I understand it’s simply cheaper that way and don’t blame a company for financial responsibility.

But it also sucks.

Is this considered Art Deco or Modern Art?

Those old Delta equipment before they got shipped off to China are rock solid and will last three lifetimes.

While it leans more Beaux-Arts as a whole, when I stayed at the Congress Plaza in Chicago a few year back it had some Art Deco elements from later renovations.

The Lobby



The Main Elevators
