DECO GIRDLES THE EARTH

Local historian Paul K. Williams will lead this fast paced audience participation lecture with over 100 slides of Art Deco buildings and structures he has photographed over the past 20 years from all parts of the globe. From entrance gates in Katmandu, steeples in Iceland, homes in Perth, to cabanas in Cape Town, will you be able to guess where (or what) it is?

Williams. The exhibit included large glass framed black and white images and extensive captions collected from local repositories all depicting Arlington, Virginia from 1939 to 1945.
