Mulqueen Family Function Centre, Bendigo

Mulqueen Family Function Centre, Bendigo

This may have been a pub in an earlier life, it certainly looks like it. It is currently the Function Centre for the Mulqueen Family Funeral Directors.
These funeral directors have been in business since 1853 and took on the name Mulqueen & Sons in 1934 so they may have built this great looking Art Deco building for their own use but it really does look like a pub to me.

Some of the windows and the side doors bear a wonderful geometric frosted glass design.

A Building in Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenya

This snap from the back of a cab in Kenya's capital Nairobi shows a tantalising glimpse of an Art Deco building. By the looks of it, a small scale skyscraper, maybe 10 storeys tall. I wish I knew more. I wish I had got the chance to go back and explore it some more.
