Buildings have a way of speaking to people. Such expression can come through their design, materials, condition, or decorative elements \u2013 and ultimately in their presence. In the middle of the long, wide expanse of Broadway in Newburgh, 121-123 Broadway is a forgotten but beautiful small building. Its Art Deco elements and design suddenly draw one\u2019s eye and convey that it was once a bustling, welcoming business on the thoroughfare.<\/p>\n
The three-story 1930 building is now shuttered, but the sandstone structure once housed a well-known local furniture store. \u201cKreisel\u2019s\u201d is in a semi-circle in big letters in the middle of an Art Deco copper-trim decoration above the entrance. The copper could use a cleaning and polishing, and yet it\u2019s still graceful, expressive, and eye-catching, with large rays over the door and geometric and scalloped accents under large horizontal windows. The sun-rays motif makes the building stand out in the row along Broadway.<\/p>\n
