Will you only buy it if it’s Art Deco? 🙂 – don’t want any of that fancy Edwardian muck…
It’s not either really – a typical orange-brick 1930s building by the looks of it, with some basic Art Deco flourishes. Spot on for Art Deco in Ireland, but too late for any major Edwardian influences.
The 1930s is an interesting period for run-of-the-mill buildings, as you see the growing influence of modernist design with horizontal windows, more austere and bold elevations etc, but built with traditional materials of red brick and limestone (possibly concrete here), and often featuring sash windows etc to the sides and rear.
Doesn’t produce the most attractive buildings to be honest.
Interesting building.
Where is this building, please?The Art Deco Ireland website is now at a new location
