New York City Building Fronts

Department 56 has a new Chrysler Building and had previously made the Empire State Building, Flat Iron Building, Radio City, Ed Sullivan Theater, Ferrara's Bakery and a Brooklyn Bridge. You can search Ebay for most of them by using "Department 56" and the name of the building.

Do you have any New York City buildings in mind?

I have a lot of these D56 buildings side-by-side with my Grand Central Station and they look great together. The Department 56 collection to search for is called: "Christmas in the City"

The Dept 56 Christmas in the City buildings, although a bit pricy, are very nice.  I have just received my Chrysler Building and it is a great addition.  I placed mine off in the distance of my layout for a distance effect since these are obviously not o scale.

BTW I am looking for the Dept 56 Empire State Building and Flatiron building.  Anyone looking to part with one or can point me to a source that has one?

I recommend you also look at the Department 56 "Times Building" and "Baltimore Arts Tower/Building". Both go well with the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings to create a skyline.

Many of the Ameritown building fronts have styles that look like older, lower-rise buildings in New York City, and are quite easy to convert.  I'm currently using some with Evergreen/Plastruk added to bash into the building below, 32 W 56th Street.  Until recently it had the facade shown in the photos, below, harkening back to H. Rider Haggard's book, She and Leo McKern's nickname for his wife in the Rumpole of the Bailey TV series.  I understand the building recently changed hands and the new owner removed the shield and titles - but not on my layout.
