I find many buildings that one can see going down Istiklal Caddesi from Taksim, or walking along parallel streets in that area, fascinating. Many have wonderful decoration, some Art Deco, some from other international styles. Some have become dilapidated, but still show former glory. In June 2008 I paid some special attention to them, and here are some results. I will add captions later, though some will have to go without.
