Commercial Bays at 4 St SE - Calgary, Canada - Googie Architecture on Waymarking.com

This strip of eight commercial bays has upswept, outthrust elliptical roofs in true Googie style. The owners have embraced the Googie influence by painting the under-arch area in bright colours.

The strip of commercial bays on the opposite side of 4th street was originally the same, as can be seen by comparing the back of the two buildings, but cladding has altered the exterior appearance of the larger building to hide its Googie origins.
