Scotland’s Art Deco Heritage 26: Moffat
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco, Trips at 22:06 on 14 April 2013
On our trip we went down south but stopped for a break at Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway.
Down a side street and turning right I found this. Built in 1932, squarely in the Art Deco era.
On the main street as you leave heading west/south is what looks like a former garage which has Art Deco features in the stepping on the roofline.
Moffat’s most famous landmark, though, is this statue of a ram – due to the importance of sheep farming in the area.

The curved corner is a good Art Deco indicator.
When I learn to use my digital camera and load inages into my computer, I’ll send along some pix of some out-of-the way bungalows in my neighborhood.
Is it possible to attach pic files?

“The curved corner is a good Art Deco indicator.”
My photo is probably from a bad viewpoint for that, Denis. I was trying to avoid a sign for a business further down the side street. I’ll check it out next time I’m down but I remember the corner as angled rather than rounded.
“Is it possible to attach pic files?”
I think so – unless my spam filter sifts them out.
