Take a look at this building. What does it remind you of?
Yes you are right! It reminds you of this building!
A Mr. Christopher Bentley from Derby, England stopped by our site today and found the Eckhardt Building.
He sent me an email that gave a link to a website he runs in the UK for Derby that highlights the Art Deco treasures in his town.
This is what he had to say…
Just surfed on by the pages about the Eckhardt Building. I sincerely hope that some use is found for this stunning curved corner building, since to see it slip into potential decay would be an architectural crime. I’m something of an aficionado of Art Deco/Moderne curved corners since my home city is Derby, England – the city of such curved corners. We have a virtually directly equivalent building in the (curved!) shape of the Co-Operative Department Store, that is still going in its original usage and (almost)with its original tenants – although admittedly it’s now the Midlands, rather than Derby Co-Operative Society. Take a look at the following page of my ‘Virtual Deco Derby Tour’ site to see what I mean.
This is why I love the internet. You never know who will click into your site and you never know what you will find out in the web. It literally bridges the world.
The Eckhardt Building is a treasure.
