Maybury Casino

Decided to go for Edinburgh Art Deco again - here's a bit of history:


DESIGNED by Patterson & Broom, the building dates back to 1935, and is one of the best-loved art deco properties in Scotland. Built on what was once called the Edinburgh Turnpike, renamed Maybury Road, the casino was, perhaps fittingly, originally a roadhouse. The entrance tower of the structure resembles the radiator grille of a classic American car, with zig-zag lines leading up to a flat roof. In his book, Essential Art Deco, Iain Zazcek describes its style as international modernism at its most severe.
