One of my favorite buildings, a perfect example of Streamline Modern architecture (1935). It was featured in the Xanadu motion picture and was destroyed by fire in 1989.

The Campana factory (1936) in Batavia IL. This is another favorite of mine. Fantastic picture by Jim Frazier that I just had to share.
