Anyone got a copy of the 1928 ATF font catalogue? I'm specifically looking for Morris Fuller Benton's first cut of Broadway, to see if it has the letter S form which can only be truthfully described as "weird-ass". Internet Archive has catalogues from the early 1930s, by which time Broadway had grown lowercase, plus a more sinuous S form.

Luma Tower on the southside of Glasgow.

Designed by Cornelius Armour in a Steamline Moderne style and built in 1938, it's one of the best preserved Art Deco buildings in the city. It was originally constructed as the Glasgow headquarters of the British Luma Co-operative Electric Lamp Society.

The 1929 Art Deco extension to the Watt Brothers Sauchiehall Street Department Store. It was designed by A. Graham Henderson (of Keppie Henderson), while the metal casement windows and the friezes between them were cast by Walter MacFarlane and Co.

Francis Scott Key School, a lovely art deco building we stumbled on last weekend in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset district. Designed by Douglas Dacre Stone, Edward A. Eames, William Mooser and built with PWA funds in 1938 (livingnewdeal.org/projects/fra). flickr.com/search/?sort=date-t

Boarded up windows and doors as well as metal braces on the Napa Franklin Station post office. This art deco building was built in 1933 with funding from the Public Works Administration. In 2014, an earthquake severely damaged the building and it still awaits repairing.

The former Glasgow Paramount Cinema on Renfield Street. Opening in 1934, it was designed in an Art Deco style by Frank T. Verity and Samuel Beverley, and it was their only cinema in Scotland. The cinema finally closed in 2003.
