Art Deco Reflected

There was going to be
no more poverty
no more ignorance
no more disease.
Art Deco reflected
that confidence
vigor and optimism
by using symbols
of progress
speed and power.
...Robert McGregor

This is the ceiling in the lobby of the Carew Tower in Cincinnati. You can also see a bit of Rookwood tile in the background. The building was opened in 1930 and is an excellent example of Art Deco design.

The Carew Tower - Netherland Hotel is a National Historic Landmark. There are so many historical landmarks, beautiful buildings, bridges and parks in Cincinnati.

Nice on Black.

OMG the prettiest image of the inside of the Carew Tower I’ve ever seen. Seriously, you should see if the city would like to use it in marketing materials.
