Holiday walk and saw this.

The regionalist style developed in Seville at the turn of the century, especially between 1900 and 1935, with origins in Modernism, Art Nouveau and followed by the rationalist style.

This regionalist idea was shown together with architects and other artists such as José María Izquierdo, Mas y Prat or the Álvarez Quintero brothers in literature, Blas Infante in politics, Castillo Lastrucci in sculpture, Bacarisas or Santiago Martínez in painting... a style that had its splendour at the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. There were many architects who worked in Seville imitating the classic Renaissance Mudejar or Baroque Sevillian buildings, where brick, tile and ironwork predominate.

This style is characterised by its attempt to recover historical architectural elements from Andalusia and southern Spain, seeking an Andalusian regional identity in architecture, using traditional local materials such as brick, tile, plaster and wood, which contributes to the feeling of regional authenticity.

Said to be a historic building.

https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1021945?section=official-list-entry I came upon this building the other day. It reminded me of a similar building that was recently torn down in South Acton. (I'll find a photo I took of that building and post it). Apparently it was the subject of an episode of the terrific film series 'A Look at Life' that's available here in the UK on Talking Pictures TV.

For some crazy reason I took an art history class in college, gain one thing in class, an appreciation for gothic architecture.
