Architecture critics, any comments? Could you really call this a "moderne" structure?

Ooh, I'd love to but Photobucket is verboten on my laptop.
Any chance you could post the pic as an attachment just for li'l ol' me? 

Thanks! Very sporting of you old chap.

Well, you couldn't really have got nearer the mark, Charles. Bloody good effort.
This is the first google result that came from a search for 'deco cinema', which is what your model made me think of.  It's a derelict cinema in Ireland. Some uncanny similarities! Tell us more then; what's it made of etc, etc.

I searched for London Underground stations too as the lower part of the frontage is almost identical to a lot of them but I couldn&#39;t find the right pics.

Here is where I work- Arnos Grove

Designed by Charles Holden, and reportedly, his favourite Station building design.

They filmed the booking hall scene for the film of Graham Greene&#39;s novel &#39;End of the Affair&#39;.

I remember it well, it was on a crisp Sunday morning, and they had lots of folk dressed up in early forties clothes, all sitting on an old London bus. I went over and cheekily asked just how long they&#39;d been waiting for the bus, and said the tube was quicker&#33; They weren&#39;t very impressed, as they had been sitting around for three hours or more and were frozen to the bone.

Well, thank you very much. Yes, that&#39;s exactly the purpose of it.
