Vintage Hotels: Gyllene Uttern
Gyllene Uttern - "The Golden Otter" - in southern Sweden was originally built as a roadside café in 1932 but the castle-like building was added within a few years. It is now mainly a hotel and restaurant. I haven't passed it in many years but it is supposed to look very much the same as when the German Nazi flag was up for German visitors (4th image).

Flickr: Those Swell Smoking Men
OK, so let me just be slightly politically correct and say that I do not encourage anyone to smoke ...but nor do think that we should hide the fact (see previous post) that many men used to smoked pipe in the old days. Smoking pipe was an important symbol of maturity, manliness, distinction, class, wealth, reliability etc.
