This block of flats is on Alexander Drive. Below is a stitch of two photos:-

Detail of taller portion. The windows have been modernised:-

Reverse view, from the car park of Wickes in Stevenson Road:-

This is in the background of my post from three days ago. It’s on the corner of Gorgie Road and Alexander Drive and used to be Poole’s Roxy Cinema. Only the facade of the cinema remains.:-

It’s glorious though:-

Detail in Alexander Drive. From the website linked to above this is a later addition, possibly from when the building was turned over to shops and flats:-

This one is on the corner of Gorgie Road and Westfield Road:-

Facade:-

Ironwork railings on balcony:-

Central Detail:-

It’s really only the doorway that is decoish.

Tyne Electrical Engineers Building, 1928:-

Frieze above door:-

Our last stp in the Netherlands last year was at the Hook of Holland Stena Line Ferry Terminal,

Fortunately the queue for boarding had me stopped right at the facade of the old terminal building which I had before only managed to photograph obliquely or from a distance.

Facade:-

Roof sculpture:-

Industrial building near River Rhine. Could be 1950s or 1960s but the tower and porthole windows are deco features:-

More modern Deco styling:-

In city centre. Note balconies:-

Detail from top balcony above. Nice gate, but it seems to access only a drop:-

Horizontals, verticals and curves on Zara’s premises:-

Stadstheater. Grand Art Deco style:-

John Frostbrug in Dutch, this is the famous bridge too far, except it’s a replacement for the original Rhine Bridge fought over in the Second World War during Operation Market Garden. It’s somewhere in The Netherlands I’ve always wanted to visit.

I must say the River Rhine looks not very wide here – not as wide as the Clyde at Dumbarton certainly. Still an obstacle to an army though:-

Eastern guard post. Slight Deco styling.  I assume this is original:-

Western guard post. Note groove up the middle of steps, for wheeling bicycles up and down.:-

Reverse view of bridge:-

Roadway:-

Commemorative plaque with inscription to John Frost by roadway on north side of bridge:-

This was the most Deco building I saw in Amsterdam. A casino on the street called Damrak:-

Canopy, horizontals in windows above:-

Rounded supports:-

City Archive Building. Horizontals and verticals galore, plus banding:-

Detailing. Frieze and note lettering above door to left:-

Frontage:-

Entrance. The building now seems to be or at least house a museum on the History of Amsterdam:-

In The Netherlands it’s sometimes difficult to tell whether a building is Art Deco or an example of De Stijl, though De Stijl tends to be starker.

Anyway I found some buildings in Amsterdam which I thought were Deco.

Horizontals, verticals, rule of three in windows, canopy, rounded window column:-

The lower windows on this one have been knackered though:-

But its detailing is good. Note the figures in the columns between the lower windows:-

This tall one has lots of verticals and horizontals plus elaborate ironwork round the windows and great detailing on upper level and towards roof:-

Another tall one was the Station Rokin Building:-

Upper Level:-

Lower level:-
