The impending destruction of Lonsdale House has prompted me to try to get photos of some of my favourite buildings (deco and otherwise) around town in case / before they suffer a similar fate.This is the beautiful David Jones (former Buckley and Nunn) building in the Bourke St mall. An art deco masterpiece built in 1934, the facade features men dressed in Jazz Age outfits, glazed terracotta panels and spandrels faced with stainless steel chevrons and colourful musical notes.
