art nouveau in Wilmington DE

I'm so used to standing speechless in front of masterpieces of the art deco style in America that I sometimes overlook the architecture that appeared just a few decades before. In some ways it's been overshadowed by the new, modernist styles that were appearing in the 1890s, and I'm sure a huge amount was torn down, but finding this attractive art nouveau bank in Wilmington was pure joy. I think that like most of the best architecture to survive in the downtown area it's in Market Street. (I would really appreciate a few suggestions of other buildings like this in the area.) Posted by Picasa
