  2. Is this art-deco? No idea. I think I might prefer Jim's 'inter war architectural style'. The only redeeming feature is the treatment of those double doors.

    Why 'grace'?

  3. The "inter war" style did have art deco influences, but it certainly was different. I'm not sure about the name "Grace" but it's used by a number of different churches around the world who emphasise the basics of Christianity.
