I could not beieve my eyes when from the steps of the Waterpoort in Sneek I spotted this toilet block.

Honest to goodness true Art Deco, streamlined, curved, mostly white, detailing picked out in contrasting paint.

Brilliant.

The ultra-modern clean lines of Sneek’s cinema argue against it being Art Deco:-

Yet despite its rather austere look there’s a definite deco feel to this. It might just be the flagpole but there is “rule of three” in the windows:-

With Dutch buildings it can be difficult to decide if they are truly Art Deco. This one in Sneek has “rule of three” in the windows though:-

Yet this is similar but only has two sets of windows:-

And what of these?:-

Or this? The roofline undoubtedly has claims:-

This only has two sets of windows but look at the brickwork detailing at the bottom of the central column, to the sides and above:-

Not much doubt about this one, even if it is minor Deco. An Indian Restaurant, not I think all that common in The Netherlands:-

The windows on this shop were delightful:-

Dutch towns have interesting architectural features. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether a building is Art Deco or not. Others are distinctively Dutch/Low Countries as on the right here:-

The doorway to the middle building above has Art Deco features to it. Certainly there’s “rule of three” in the windows above it and the door itself has a very 30s feel. The ironwork on the gates is good too:-

The brickwork on the canalside house below is very distinctive and there’s more than a hint of Deco to the double doors in the centre. Also a Charles Rennie Mackintosh feel to all the doors:-

And is this Deco or merely Dutch style?:-

Note the squares in the window highlights. And there’s an Art Nouveau touch to the decoration just above the windows but below the brick arches:-

The Deco elements are mostly in the lettering and neon glass signage:-

I don’t know how I’d missed this before. I couldn’t have been far enough along George Street – or not looking if I was.

On corner of George and Castle Streets. Housed Viyella and Austin Reed at time of photo.

The ground sits between Tannadice and Sandeman Streets.
