As part of History Week in South Australia, the Adelaide
Chapter of the Art Deco and Modernism Society hosted
an evening called Look Up and Smile at the Torrens Parade
Ground hall.
Prospect Mayor and Art Deco lover, David O'Loughlin
spoke about the history of Art Deco since its inception in 1925,
his own Art Deco home and the many Art Deco buildings
still left in Adelaide.
The quality of the photography isn't great - I was photographing
slides.
