Art Deco - Ingham

I recently took a few snaps of some lovely examples of Art Deco styling in Ingham. I've yet to do any research on these buildings, but thought I'd share the photos now anyway. It's a bit of a shame about the modern signage, and the weather was not on my side either, but if you've got any historical information on the original use of these places that you'd like to share, please leave a comment!
