The Carbide and Carbon Building at 230 N. Michigan Avenue in Chicago was built in 1929. The architects were Daniel and Hubert Burnham, sons of one of Chicago's preeminent architects and urban planners, Daniel Burnham. It is 40 stories. Its black, green and gold color scheme has been suggested to have been inspired by the American Radiator Building (featured in Art Deco 2). |
The Reynolds
Building in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was built in 1928 and is 22
stories. The architectural firm was Shreve Lamb and Harmon
Associates. The building is made of limestone. It was the
tallest building in North Carolina from its construction through 1965.
A detail of its facade reveals the art deco ornamentation. |
