I love it when two things I love but are way not related collide with each other. Case in point: I Art Deco (duh) and I love Industrial & Deathrock music; this is Lead into Gold's 12" single for Idiot/Blackened Heart, Hatred on legendary Wax Trax Records. This is (and still is Paul Barker's project). Paul is best known as the bass player for Ministry & Revolting Cocks back in their heyday. The Art Deco album art are from two Chicago Bridges. One bridge with the female subject, if sketchy sources are correct, is the Ogden Bridge, which was totaled in 1994 (this single came out in 1990). The Ashland Avenue bridge is still there but google maps doesn't show any artwork anywhere. The artist for both is Scipione del Campo, who did many other Chicagoland pieces in the same style.

There's probably a bunch in Cheyenne, Wyoming that needs rediscovered, but the biggest, most obvious, example I can think of is this Railway bridge, probably built as part of the Lincoln Highway. Around the corner of Lincolnway (old highway 30) and Westland Road.

It's fairly generic except it has large fans on both concrete pillars.

That is pretty great. The overpass on Happy Jack Road looks so basic down the rails a bit.

Legend has it that there are around 30 totally different clocks at Bullock’s Wilshire/Southwestern Law School. Some floors are off limits to the public 💯% of the time, so who knows if they’ll all be documented anytime in our lifetime. 📸:me

Hey, I really like your profile, If you don’t mind if your pictures could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client and you will be getting paid for it, , I would make such an amazing mural out of it!

Sounds cool, hopefully you can have fun with it.

Another tumblr post that only looks good on tumblr (tall photos are tall). Bullock's Wilshire, Los Angeles. Now the Southwestern Law School, who spent millions of dollars getting it back to it's 1929 form.

Cornerstone of former #ArtDeco department store, Bullock's Wilshire. I would pay for a font that actually matched all these letters, especially the 'W'. Thank you,

@southwesternlawschool

for taking such excellent care of the place, setting the bar for world-class adaptive re-use. Special thanks to @la_architecture_and_art_tours & @in_the_neon_city for leading the lovely tour in 2019 that I captured these photos 📸 on.

My favorite #ArtDeco post office in California has to be the one in Visalia, California. Here's some photos I took of it back in 2015 on the way to Fresno. It was raining off & on the whole time but I didn't let that stop me.

SEXY FONT ALERT: Porterville, California. Built 1939 if you believe the sign with the gorgeous font. Thew in some tall boys (high height photos) to let you know this post was lovingly crafted for Tumblr & not just a port over from one of those lesser social media sites. 📸:me/2015
