Description

Art Deco design is a jazzy celebration of the Machine Age, mass production, geometry, and the straight line. In Palm Beach County, sleek themes are seen representing tropical, nautical, masculine, and stylized motifs that reflect speed and technology. Elements come with eyebrows, flat roofs, porthole windows, rounded corners, columns, glass blocks, bandings, multiples of 3, and Zig-Zag steps. Palm Beach County has dozens of Art Deco treasures built all through the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, which can be positioned within the downtowns of Delray Beach up through West Palm Beach. Art Deco architecture found in Palm Beach County is spread out slightly than concentrated in one location. These buildings are significant to the history of South Florida because they represent one of the crucial earliest structures ever built within the area. These remarkable gems are at risk of being demolished because of the ever-increasing amount of development all through the county.
