Old New York Police Department Headquarters, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

More like a palace than a police station, this real building on Centre Street New York was built in 1909 and housed the New York Police department from 1909 to 1973.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A fine example of the Beaux Arts style, they sure don't make them like this anymore.... 

This is the ortho version. 

When modeling this, I have taken a number of liberties: most notably squaring off the back of the building (in real life it is an odd wedge shape that doesn't fit any of the NAM FAR roads, so it would have been pointless to remain true to the original in terms of usability) and I haven't included the little projection to one side.

Given the classic architecture, this will work equally well in either a New York scene or a European one.

An overhanging diagonal version with near identical stats will follow soon.

All my police stations are specially modded and will squash the crime bug that plagues large lots such as airports and golf courses. This building is no exception, and it also has a massive coverage radius and capacity.

Being a Police station, it is found in the police menu. The buildings provide employment for 294 of New York's finest SIMS.

NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE:

There are two model files in this download. You must select the appropriate file from the download. The file suffixed with 'DN' is for those users with a night-time darkening mod installed. The file suffixed with 'MN' is for users who do not have any such mods installed.

If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. 

If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod. (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/)

in case this building gets abandoned due to "defund the police" at least we still have a beautiful model of it in SimCity.

An utterly beautiful building. I was just thinking last night how it'd be nice to have a really gorgeous police station to accompany the L1 Central Station on the LEX, and what a pleasant surprise! :D
