I chose this building for my project because it stood out to me. When i was in High school, i had an art history class, and the one art period i remember most vividly was the Art Deco period during the roaring twenties. I would say it’s because, in my eyes, its the most distinctive, that and my teacher also assigned us homework about it; look for anything around the city that was Art Deco, so it just stuck, and now i’m always subconsciously looking for buildings like this. This structure caught my eye because most Art Deco buildings are taller, and this one was just two stories, i can’t imagine what it was when it was first built, maybe an office? maybe it was always a dentist? I’d like to know more about it’s history, who designed it, and what was it’s intended purpose.
