The Dispatch Newspaper, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

A little 5 floor building that piqued my interest after a user posted a request on the 'cannae find eet, screw ewes' thread, looking for buildings with old-style neon signage. There aren't too many in SC4, so I have been adding a few more examples to the gene pool.

This one, built in 1925 in Columbus Ohio, exemplifies the type: taller than its neighbouring buildings, the neon signage was prominently displayed above the roof line so that it could be seen for miles. Until recently, it was home to Columbus' Newspaper, 'The Dispatch'.

Plus, it was an excuse to do another old-style Wall to Wall building that didn't have the standard 1x1 or 1x2 lot dimensions.

I have taken some liberties with the building; dispensing with the joined car-park and interlocking courtyards to ensure that this will fit on a smaller sized lot.

It is offered as a growable only CS§§ 1x3 left corner lot employing 104 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/)

A small but delightful corner for a city (the frieze of the sculpted details) ; and the night light are superb. *:thumb:

A nice addition that offers more variety to mid-sized downtowns, and grows just enough to be noticeable but not overwhelming. Thank you for sharing mattb325!

Delicious.  1x-wide buildings are sorely needed, with the game's tendency toward all those repetitive shoebox office and commercial service structures.  This one is a beauty, and yes, we need much more neon in SC4.
