Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Lovejoy Pool, 1171 East Lovejoy Street at Gold Street, Buffalo, New York, November 2020. Built in 1947, the building is a near-perfect embodiment of the changeover from Streamline Moderne to the early International Style that was underway at the time in American architecture, with its curved contours, its façade of smooth-textured, slightly glossy tile accented with chrome, and the rounded corners on the windowpanes in and around the front entrance. Originally the building served as the third and last home to the Lovejoy Theater, owned for most of its history by Sam Rappaport; this was the last new single-screen movie house ever to be built in the city. After the theater's closure in 1979, the city's Parks Department purchased the building for conversion into an indoor pool.
