It's a shame that brilliant art directors like Richard Day and Van Nest Polglase don't get the recognition that they should. Art direction so in classic Hollywood cinema is so overlooked.

There are a number of spaces from the late 50s and definitely the 60s that use recessed fluorescent troffers most often in drop ceilings. I worked in offices like this in the 80s that had been built in the late 50s and this was the look. Plus, I did a lot of site surveys in Manhattan offices for architectural control systems and this was the norm. Magazines from the period are great for this kind of research as well as catalogs like those for Armstrong Ceiling tiles give some shots showing this look. I don't know what architectural lighting catalogs and brochures from the period would show in terms of recessed fluorescent fixtures. (All my lighting catalogs for this period are theatrical ones!) Great post; always thought provoking! MSE I agree with Jeffrey, the drop ceilings with fluorescent fixtures is correct to the period.

Try Pusser's Rum from the British Virgin Island, a fantastic complex rum. When you run out of the mixers it's even good with just a squash of lime. Yum. Haven’t thought about this cocktail in years.

These photos are amazing! I am a huge Walker Evans fan as well as many of the Depression-era photographers and WPA artists, but I have never seen these color images of this time period. Thank you so much for posting. Also, thanks for the link to William Gibson's Twitter account. For some reason, I never thought to go look for him in the Twitterverse, but it now seems like a no-brainer! Love his writings and thoughts on life. Wow! These photos are amazing!
