EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the Historic England Photo Library under the reference K970142, showcases the exterior detail of The Hoover Building located on Western Avenue in Perivale, London. The image encapsulates the unique blend of industrial architecture and art deco design, which is a distinctive feature of this iconic structure. The Hoover Building's imposing facade is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and bold, vertical lines, reflecting the art deco style that was popular during the early 20th century. The building's most striking feature, however, is the large, ornate clock that dominates the central section. The clock's yellow hands and numbers stand out against the dark, textured glass and metal panels, adding a sense of dynamism and energy to the scene. The large windows, which are framed by sleek, vertical lines, allow natural light to flood into the building, creating a sense of openness and transparency. The windows also offer a glimpse into the inner workings of the factory, inviting curiosity and intrigue. The Hoover Building's industrial past is evident in the raw materials used in its construction, such as the rough-textured brick and metal panels. Yet, the building's design manages to elevate these industrial elements, transforming them into something beautiful and awe-inspiring. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of industrial architecture and the role it plays in shaping our urban landscapes. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of design and the passage of time, as the clock hands on the building's clock continue to move forward, marking each passing moment.
