DFW Deco examines a vibrant architectural heritage that spans legendary eras in American history, from the Roaring Twenties through the Great Depression to World War II. DFW Deco explores the full range of modernistic building styles and some of the uniquely Texan influences that shaped the growing cities of North Texas. Classic zigzag skyscrapers promoted by Fort Worth boosters and Dallas businessmen, Art Deco storefronts in the booming towns of the great East Texas oilfield, and streamlined facilities inspired by innovations in transportation and communications all have a place in this book. DFW Deco looks not only at whole buildings, but also at their finely crafted details, ranging from vibrant tile murals depicting the scope of Texas history on Fort Worth's monumental Will Rogers Memorial Center to stylized gold-leaf pinecones and cotton bolls in the ornate People's National Bank Building in Tyler. Using a mix of original and historical photographs, this lavishly illustrated book promotes an appreciation of Main Street movie theaters, innovative suburban homes, and even a surprising collection of modernistic soft drink bottling plants. DFW Deco also documents the federal programs that helped build exceptional courthouses, schools, and post offices from small towns to big cities. The book ends with a chapter of short biographies of the architects and artists who created these landmarks. By illustrating the broad reach of modernistic design in North Texas, the authors hope to advance the preservation of significant buildings and encourage readers to explore the region themselves and discover their own Art Deco treasures. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Commercial -- Skyscrapers -- Travel and transportation -- Entertainment -- Institutional -- Residential -- Centennial -- Architects, designers, and artists. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 650 0 $a Art deco (Architecture) $z Texas. 650 0 $a Architecture $z Texas $x History. 651 0 $a Dallas (Tex.) $x Buildings, structures, etc. 651 0 $a Fort Worth (Tex.) $x Buildings, structures, etc. 700 1 $a Bush, David, $d 1957- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C147790CF11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
