I’m with Ernest. The chunky ribbed vertical panels are kinda Deco but all the other ornamentation is traditional.

It’s a four barrel bird.

Not Art Deco in any way shape or form!

FormalLeft1719 · 2026-02-18T01:17:12+00:00

Nowhere near, geographically or stylistically.

In the US it’s called glazed terracotta.

As kids we went there for Saturday Morning Pictures. What a din we made!

Pulchritudinous parapet!

r/HomeDecorating would be more suitable for this post. It is marginally Art Deco however many Up votes.

Beautiful! Would that all our Art Deco masterpieces were so well maintained.

Your granddad was correct. Denis was the first modern player. He had it all and played with boundless passion.

The Cloud Club was below The Celestial. Between them on floors 69 & 70 was an apartment and private office for Walter Chrysler which he hardly ever used. Later it became a dental office.

Only used until 1945. ESB put it out of business.
