Some of my favourite art deco buildings around the local area

The Mont Clair, my vote as the best apartment building in Darlo. I want to live here, specifically the unit at top right with the north west aspect and hill top panorama over the city. Please keep it under your hat, I wouldn't want to talk up the price or competition.
The Unicorn used to be a neighbourhood pub, went gay for a while, and is now the nice and ritzy Fringe Bar, with chandeliers and velvet draping.

What used to be the Albury, an iconic home of drag. Now it's a sports clothing shop, the interior just standard plasterboard and fluorescent uplighting.

Growing up, my cousins had the only 24 hour snack bar in Sydney, which was located in the service station next door to the Rose, Shamrock and Thistle. This was one of the shadiest pubs in Sydney, with a highly criminal clientele. Today it's just like any other renovated trendy pub.

The Portree, in Darley St. understated elegance.

It used to be a cinema and is now offices. Cleveland St.
