The Lee Building : Corner of Colesville Road and Georgia Avenue :
Silver Spring, Maryland
A few evenings ago, I was out and about in downtown Silver Spring. The older part of downtown has some wonderful art deco architecture and the Lee Building is a wonderful example of a very retro look.
Not your boring elevatorA more contemporary neon construct can be found surrounding the elevator tower in the outdoor shopping plaza.

I really like neon and art deco. What more could I want?!
Great photos.
Hey...I think I saw that building when I was there. Cool!
As Ken Mac would say, "Neon lovers unite!". I think neon is hard to capture but you did it. Great shots DC!
Marley: Um, a house built in art deco and decorated by neon? :-)
Lucy: Probably. I think your daughter works very near here.
Virginia: I feel like I totally lucked out on these shots. The first one I'm especially happy about.
