The National Trust Guide to Art Deco in America

The National Trust Guide to Art Deco in America

A state-by-state guide to the historic buildings designed in this quintessential 20th century American style

Art Deco design came of age in the 1920's, an architectural style representative of the new lust for modernism and the technologies of the 20th century. Today Art Deco is enjoying a renaissance, largely because it is the last major design movement to go beyond buildings and into day-to-day products like cars and toasters. David Gebhard has surveyed over 500 significant Art Deco buildings and takes you on a coast to coast journey from the Art Deco strongholds in Miami Beach to Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.

  • Listing includes place and street addresses
  • Features a range of buildings and monuments, including sky-scrapers, residences, office buildings, shops, hotels and public buildings
