Dunkle's Gulf was built in 1933. This classic example of Art Deco Era design is stop #5 on the tour.

Too bad he is so often wrong or giving incomplete info.
Art Deco, what an era, thisvideo is so well done. It could have included Miami, a major repository of Art Deco, hundreds of sites are now protected historic landmarks.
It was walking into two homes built in the 20s and 30s thay got me even more interested in art deco.
I already had a strong fascination for 1920's fashion. Sported a finger wave at a friend's wedding several years ago.
The gal who did my finger wave was telling me how this was the first hairstyle she had to learn how to make when she was studying cosmotology. She also told me how it was the hardest one to do as well. I asked her, "Why did you have to learn it?" She told me that, that hairstyle is still one that is requested and one that keeps coming back every few years. The Bob cut is the other one.
The first time I went into a home that was built in 1924, I was memorized. My mom was doing housekeeping for the family that lives there and she had me come with her a few times to help her out.
The hallway foyer that stretches from the office to the kitchen and partially upstairs, is all elaborately wood paneled, had a lot of wood trimming up on the ceiling.
The downstairs bathroom has the type of toilet that was common throughout the 20s that had the long metal flush lever like you see in stalls of today's public restrooms.
The screen door to the front door is all metal with intricate design and glass in between. The upstairs bathrooms are all tiled from ceiling to floor, which was typical of homes built in the 20s. And the tiling was not some cheap ass work either, those upstairs bathrooms in this house all the tiles used form geometric paterns to fit the whole style of the rest of the house.
All the upstairs bathrooms (except the master bedroom and the downstairs bathroom) have square sinks, square mirrors, square patern designs on the walls and etc. The downstairs bathroom and the one in the master bedroom upstairs have octegonal sinks.
I've always wanted a bungalow house because I hate fences and love homes with big porches. When I did some research on some bungalow homes online, it just fits perfectly for me to have the inside all done up art deco style. Those types of homes were popular here in Washington State, especially here in Seattle, back in the 1920s. Once I'm able to afford a bungalow, you can bet I'm gonna get down to art decoing the crap out of its interior. It's sad to see those homes now being torn down because of squatters.
Thanks a lot. I'd like to quote your work in my own article. Is there a way to know your name, sir ?
Very interesting, great presenter too.
Among all other virtues, this is a nice and appropriate critique of Stilkritik.
excellent presentation!! thanks!!
Thank you for sharing! This helped tremendously in helping me with a project that I want to use the styles of that era for.
Very helpful, thank you
Enjoyed your video. Love the Art Deco styles, ooops, I guess, as you say, Art Deco is not an "official" style...........(let's use the term "theme") which evolved from the art form, Art Nouveau that first gained international attention at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, France. This little gas station in Bedford, Pennsylvania is an exquisite example of the basic Art Deco geometric architecture. Unfortunately, this little gas station is on U.S. highway 30, surrounded by highway signs, stops signs, street lighting and blase' structures which certainly do not enhance the beauty of the Art Deco structure.
