"Justice" by Archibald "Arch" Garner.

Commissioned by the Section of Fine Arts of the Treasury Department for the Fresno, California USA Federal Building and Post Office, it was done in 1939-40.

The figure is 9 feet tall. This photo is probably of the plaster model or of the maquette.

"The Kadane House, an Art Deco architectural masterpiece by Ray C. Arnhold" built in 1939 in Wichita Falls, KS has been restored and is a blank canvas for the new owner. 5bds, 4ba, 4,324 sq ft, $550k. I'm not too keen on the gray exterior though, b/c you can see that it was brick.

The rounded foyer has lovely glass block windows.

Large living room with built-in shelving. I think that it would've been better if they'd have painted the walls white rather than gray. It would make it more flexible for decorating. They even did the ceiling gray.

I wonder why the fireplace was put into a small corner.

Look at all the glass block. I wonder if this long room is supposed to be the dining room. I like the two niches.

This must be either the formal living room or a family room.

This is a nice room. It's like a bar lounge with a built-in banquette and bar.

Huge kitchen. Look at the girders on the ceiling. I like the green cabinetry, but it's not Art Deco.

The home office could also make a nice art studio.

Here's a bedroom with an ensuite shower room that's been retiled.

Nice large bedroom with built-ins. I really wish that they hadn't used gray paint and that they staged it with some Art Deco furnishings.

Looks like an original Art Deco bath, except for the tile- that looks newer.

Spacious primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, ensuite, and doors to the yard.

The bedrooms are so big.

This is one of the smaller ones, and it's still a good size.

This is nice- it's a guest suite with a kitchenette.

The yard is very large.

0.5 acre lot is like on its own little island. I love the little steps out front and the curved walls.

Quite a large home on a curved corner lot.

Term 3, week two: Give the world more love.

Made some progress in drawings but sitting at the desk all day really gets to you sometimes.

Some other things: enjoyed a lecture on conservation; checked out a newly renovated campus building by a much beloved hand; had my monthly volunteering on the sunniest day in a while; frolicked in a lush garden; and savoured some delightful Art Deco train stations.

Even if the skies are mostly grey and dreary, I try to remind myself of all the little things I am blessed with and my endless gratitude for them. To have love in your heart is a great source of strength.

Pawtucket City Hall, 137 Roosevelt Avenue, Pawtucket, RI. Designed by John O' Malley, and completed in 1936. Protected as a US Register of Historic Places, which is positive for the retention of the handsome facade. But the interior has fallen into a state of disrepair in several areas, and funding to restore is unlikely.

I thought that this Windermere, FL home was built around the 1920s, but it says 2006. Apparently, the architect, Mark Nasrallah, is known for Art Deco style. The 5bd, 9ba mansion, called "Overjoy," has been on the market for 551 days. Asking price: $11.955M + $400mo. HOA. Take a look. I think it's beautiful.

Marble floors, and the house gets tons of natural light.

Not that you really need a fireplace in Florida, but it looks pretty, especially with the blue surround.

The living/dining room has a magnificent view of the pool and Lake Butler.

The pool has a waterfall that you can enjoy while you're in the jacuzzi.

They placed the dining table here, but it's not particularly close to the kitchen. (Not that they care about how far the staff has to walk.)

Next to the living/dining area is a smaller dining area and a family room.

I'm so fascinated by hidden kitchens. Very rich people must hate cooking so much, they hide the kitchen.

I like the peachy color of it, though. When you put Swarovski crystal insets, and no exhaust hood, over the cooktop, you're not the one who cleans the kitchen.

I'm guessing the double doors on the left are the fridges.

The primary bedroom suite has marble flooring, a view of, and access to, the pool.

It has a sitting room right in front of the pool and doors to the patio.

Bathroom with a sunken jetted tub and fireplace.

And, 2 closet/dressing rooms.

Then, this is the spa room for the massage table.

The home theater looks plain, but it has sueded walls and a Kaleidescape media system.

Kitchenette off the theater.

Behind the purple couch in this sitting area there's the floating glass 4 person elevator that goes up to the 3rd level.

The primary bedroom is on the main floor, but the other suites are on the upper levels.

Covered full outdoor kitchen with a door to completely enclose it. (It rains in Florida.)

Covered sitting/dining area with a fireplace and a view of the lake.

Outdoor sitting area and the boat dock.

.93 acre lot.
