One of the advantages of residing in Mexico is the wondrous quality and variety of architectural styles -- historic, modern and in-between -- sprinkled throughout the country. One of my favorites is the Art Deco, or moderne look popular in the early 1930s. Here in Mazatlán, however, to my untrained eyes anyway, Deco is far from the predominant or most memorable style (I would say the prize goes to the ornate nineteenth century French/New Orleans look). Nonetheless, there’s a nice sampling of Deco and Deco-ish architecture in the city. Here then is my modest tribute.
