Another set from this well-appointed town.

 

Herve Villachaise, announcing that the ride-sharing car is here:

Closed in 2012, says Cinematreasures, but as of this writing it is - obviously - a restaurant.

Nice compact marquee.

Gorgeous!

With the standard Deco-Moderne Machine Age Fronds.

I’ve never seen stone like that before.

Would make a good bookstore.

A look at public-service civic architecture in two glances: the old City Hall, a Second Empire building of no great distinction at the time, but worthy for its survival and uniqueness.

Annnnnd an OUMB.

There’s that stone again. Local quarry?

 

Standard issue Georgian, a bit cramped at the top. But even a rote example of these is welcome.

Off the shelf ornamentation. I’m guessing. Page 47 in the catalogue.

And another Georgian. This time the architect was drunk when he did the windows.

Whaddyamean they're upshide down

That’s a lot of flibberdegibbit for no particular reason.

I don’t even have to check to know this old hotel is senior housing now. But I’d better.

Actually, it’s still a hotel! But old people could stay there so yes, it’s senior housing.

Damned dull thing, though.

Sound as a dollar, this one. Majesty on a small scale.

Every town should have one. Once, every town aspired to have one.

With this bizarre little assemblage, we end our tour of Marquette and doff all available caps: well done.
