I agree, many of those buildings in the last update are infact Beaux-Arts, popular at the time as well, but characterized by highly detailed, less streamlined decorations, greek columns, broad awnings, sectioning. those two scientology buildings are examples.
Relax, It's an aquired skill. most of us spent years nose deep in textbooks, googleing till our joints were stiff, or watching discovery channel specials to the point of brain hemorrhage.
Here in Saint John we detroyed half of our Art Deco buildings.
We imploded the old general hospital, tore out the facade of the old NBtell building, and knocked down the Odeon theatre. (late deco loby, quite nice)
Most of our rmaining deco buildings are schools, the ones I know of are St. Mac's High and Bayside school, the charlotte street entrance to the chinese cultural center and the old bank of nova scotia building
EDIT: I forgot we covered the old woolworth's store in the 70's.
