Evening, Art Deco

The Municipal Building in St. Charles, IL. Designed by Edward Zook, it was constructed in 1940, at the tail end of the Art Deco/Moderne period (the world had other things to worry about by this time). Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it still contains the village offices, and the trimwork on the distinctive octagonal clocktower has recently been restored. Situated on the east shore of the Fox River, this shot looks at it from the IL 64 bridge.
