And this.

magnificent story of the city night and its allure*
That "pick the date" shot could be from any of those years...it has probably looked the same since those heavy 70's planters and benches were installed.
The Chamber building also has some "Prairie Gothic" elements that predate the more streamlined Art Deco look.
For another solid and mostly intact Art Deco commercial building take a look at the Chase (former INB) Maple Road branch on E. 38th.
The ground level of the Penn Arts buiding at 16th and Penn is way more modern than its contemporaries, and it has a bit of Art Deco streamlining in its streamlined fluted stonework and glass storefronts.
I will definitely go and check both of them out; thanks for the info.
