Deco Architecture

I am always awed by great architecture. A few weeks back I was strolling the streets of St Paul with Jeff, TJ & Richard and we noticed the fabulous last century of detail on the many buildings downtown. Many, you walk by and never even catch the brilliance unless you look up.

So I found this feature on the Architzer website blog and it points out some highlights of art deco architecture and ties it into the release of the new Gatsby film.
