The old Post Office/Dominion Public Building on Duke St is our best example, along with the PUC Building. The old Land Registry Office (Registry Theatre) has deco design elements inside and out. The Little Pinto is the most modest example. The Dollarama and the old Biltmore (Dallas) are late Deco-influenced buildings. Any others in the Downtown?
Since I never know where to put the line between Art Deco and Moderne, I thought of two more - the old Eatons used to have streamlined features, but they were lost in the condo conversion. The building at the corner of Duke and Frederick also has streamlined windows and the rounded corner, but it's hidden behind that rather unfortunate metal cladding.
