Lincoln Zephyr V-12 ( 1936)
As described in the brochure, "The appearance of the Lincoln-Zephyr makes people everywhere stop and admire. Every graceful flowing streamline stamps it the modern car. But use, rather than observation, reveals the Lincoln-Zephyr's true virtues --for its performance is as modern as its appearance."

So some Art Deco in Louisville, Kentucky (used to be more but some no longer standing unfortunately).
The former Courier-Journal building (sold in 2025)
Former AT&T/Southern Bell Building/LMPD Police Hub
My personal favorite is Bowman Field, for smaller aircraft/private aircraft. Also houses a French restaurant, Le Relais. Was also featured in Goldfinger.
The Lobby
Inside Bistro Le Relais (in the same building)

My late wife's cousin owns that restaurant inside the terminal. Beautiful place, great restaurant.

It was built in 1935 in the Art Deco style and was home to many Hollywood celebrities, including James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, Percy Kilbride, and Montgomery Clift. It was also Ronald Reagan’s first home when he moved to Hollywood in 1937. In 1985, the building was converted to low-income senior housing.

Top tier "new" buildings (new to the thread) have been slim pickens the past ~10 pages, but that's a good one.
