Hello, I'm making this building for the game Sim City, but I don't have any pictures of the base to work off. Does anyone have any pictures? It would be a big help. Here's progess so far: http://img225.imageshack.us/im g225/9491/211wfa2er.jpg Right now, only the glass has been textured, and the entire thing is still in progress.

Jason, I think that the base is (like you show in your partial base) nothing more than a lot of square columns around the perimeter, with the ground floor set back from the columns... This is from memory, and it may not be 100% accurate. |

actually, I recall that this building WAS made out of legos by someone! I don't think the legos are fine enough for me to use as a reference though. I figured the base has that kind of setback, since it seemed to be the thing to do in the 60's. I might just have to work off that if no one has any pictures. |

The ground floor is set back, but not so far that the glass lobby still can't be seen from that angle, I don't think. |

Gotta love those dinnerplate/hubcap sized ashtrays on the conference tables. Imagine those conference rooms as smokefilled rooms back in the olden tymes. Those check processing machines look like they weigh 500 pounds each! Check out the executive sitting at the computer bank. If that guy, in his 50s in this photo, was actually a computer guy back then (and not merely an exec posing for a photo) he would have been of the proper vintage to have worked with some of the early greats in the development of the modern electronic computer. Re Detroit bank and trust branch offices, there was a nice one, two story, red brick with a curved corner on GR a few blocks west of greenfield. It's modest ouside held a particularly nice marble lobby (no where near as nice as the imposing NBD up the street a bit at Fenkell and GR but nice nonetheless). Those suburban branch offices look cool too. |

7even: nope, these are for Sim City 4 (the current Sim City). When I'm done with it, I'll be uploading it to www.simtropolis.com (it's been down lately though), and if you have the game, and if you make a free account at the site, you can download it. I've already made the Detroit Free Press Building, and it's there. I've started the Vinton Building, but I'm waiting for it to be renovated or for what's going to be changed before I continue. Here's a picture of the Free Press Building: http://img480.imageshack.us/im g480/7313/dfppreview0cw.jpg and the Vinton Building (still a work in progress): http://img377.imageshack.us/im g377/1855/vintonprev4da.jpg Wolverine: thanks . If you can finish all of the modeling for the Hudsons building, and if you can get it so I can open it in gmax, then I can do the texturing and finish it up. |

211 WEST FORT STREET BUILDING. Fort Street and Washington Blvd., Detroit. Built 1965. Harley, Ellington, Cowin and Stirton, Architects. Tinted floor-to ceiling windows fit into the cast concrete frame, giving the bldg. a simple and dignified character. To form a small plaza, the bldg. is set-back on the lot in a style of urbanist planning used in that era. In 1965, the AIA award jury noted that the landscape placement of the bldg. was "an excellent solution to a difficult site." In all of jjaba's research, no mention is made of Itsjeff's ashtrays, but they sure do standout in interior shots in light of today's practices in such hermetically sealed office blocks. Building owners and managers are even forbidding smoking in exterior private spaces today. jjaba was recently in the Tampa airport, observing smoking cages on patio spaces in waiting rooms. They look like big dog kennels. Being asthmatic, jjaba appreciates the movement away from smoking in buildings or even outdoor open-air places. jjaba, Westsider. |

Gumby, I see the Mott is the second tallest building in Flint. What are your thoughts on the tallest building, Genesee Tower(s)? I haven't been to downtown Flint before and I don't think Genesee Tower was featured in 'Roger & Me' (my only vision of the once booming Flint) ... I don't really like it.

It is an ugly building as it stands. The current owner has been fighting with the city bout what to do with it. From what I understand there are plans out there to strip the facade off of it back to the steel and replace it with a much more attractive one with reflective glass (I was told this by the architect who did the drawings) but the problem is that the owner Kumar Vemapaulli's (sp?) big plan is to paint it black and white. As ong as he owns it, it is gonna be vacant. It was built for the local main office for NBD in 1969 nd while it is ugly I would hate to see it become a flat parking lot. Believe it or nt it is called Genesee Towers even though it is one structure. It is plural because it is one tower stacked upon another (Parking Garage and then building) You can see the gap in between them where all the mechanical equipment is placed. |

Actually, the Mott Foundation building is one of my favorite buildings, but I'm trying to do the area of downtown where these other buildings I've been doing are. I don't like Genesee Towers too much though. I think adding new glass will make it look ok for another 30 years, but in the end it's still an ugly building. At least in my opinion. I still need a shot of 211 West Fort Street's parking entrance in order to finish it. ;) |

Yeah, whether you like 60's architecture, or not, Genesee Towers is probably one of the less attractive examples of that era of architecture, this is not even to mention how shoddily it was built (i.e. concrete facade literally falling off, pipes bursting causing water damage...). This is one building that would probably be better off demolished and put out of its misery. That, or reclad it and redo, entirely, the plumming and other mechanics. But, the current owner doesn't have the money for any of that. |

Very true Lmichigan. But the architect who did the reclad drawings told me that the interior is still in pretty good condition. It has only sat vacant for about 10 years now. We don't have the scraping problem up here like you guys in Detroit have. Our vacant buildings seem to be in pretty good shape. Outside of the Durant Hotel and various houses out in the neighborhoods the buildings don't really even have broken windows. |

Plus more and more the store fronts are being redone to encourage new retail to accomodate the new housing going up downtown. The white tile building had been boarded up for years, it is now having its storefront spruced up and the white tiles, left over from its days as Michigan Medical Supply, will be replaced with a much more asthetically pleasing facade. There ar like 4 or 5 apartments in the upper floors of the building that currently access from the alley but must use the stairs in the retail area. The owner is planning to remedy this by putting a residential hall way in his building next door. The Flint City T-Shirt building next door will have the ugly black bricks, left over from when it was the Flint Beauty College, replaced with a more fitting glass store front. |

The architect who did the drawings for Genesee Towers is the same guy who is doing this restoration. So I have to assume it would look pretty good. |

Like most of Michigan's inner-city revitalizations, Flint's has definitely impressive. I need to make it back up there some time soon. I was last there in 2004. |

Super cool! Also see if you can get where the building connects to the building next door. I won't be making the building next to it anytime soon (probably never at all), but I'd like to see the connection so I can figure out how to cut it off. |

Nevermind, I was able to get down there to take a picture. It's a good thing that I did too, because if I had just guessed it would have turned out pretty differently than how it realy is. |
