About This File
This lot is based on the Herald and Weekly Times Building - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The original building is an essential piece of Melbourne's architectural heritage. Completed in 1923 the structure is a fine example of the Beaux Arts architecture that dominated the streets of New York and Chicago at the time. The Herald Building, which combined with the roof-top neon signs and the twin radio towers, conveys an image of the power and dominance of the print media in the first half of the twentieth century.
The building is currently undergoing redevelopment. A 36 floor office tower is being built above the old building, which, being heritage listed, cannot be fully demolished. It's exterior, including the neon HERALD SUN sign and the former radio antennas on the roof for radio station 3DB, that was also housed in the building for many years, cannot be removed. The interior of the building was gutted after the HWT moved out in 1995 after seventy-two years in the building. Apartments will be built inside the old structure.
This download features two lots, a plopable and a growable. Both are 4wide x 5deep and have roughly the same technical settings, such as jobs. All technical details can be found in the readme.
