The house numbers presented in the montage above adorn a series of Art Deco buildings in central areas of Bucharest and date from 1929 to late 1930s. I like the futuristic shape of the example positioned in the middle of the image. The house numbers through their interesting design and the sense of modernity that they manage to exude constitute veritable Art Deco statements in their own right.

I endeavor through this daily series of images and small articles to inspire appreciation of the historic houses of Romania, a virtually undiscovered, but fascinating chapter of European architectural history and heritage.
