About the model
A new model from my Soho, Noho and Nolita series. This is quite a heavy model with about 5568 tris and a 3072×512 texture. Normal mapped, alpha, illuminationmap and specularmapped. It’s a round corner building, so quite a bit work and that might also explain to you why the amount of tris quite high.
LoD is around 147 tris, 384×256.

About the building
An 11-story office building completed in 1907. Designed by Samuel Sass, the building’s most notable feature is the rounded corner with its 2-window bays. The Broadway facade has two bays of triple-windows, and the 12th Street facade spans three triple-window bays, with two single-window end bays. It has a 2-story base, with curved window panes at the rounded corner on the ground floor. The base is composed of dark-green cast-iron and glass. At the 2nd floor the cast-iron piers are paneled and have stylized capitals supporting a broad stone cornice. The far western bay is clad in limestone, with a metal vent at the 2nd floor. Below, the main entrance is also clad in stone, set behind rather stout paired and staggered columns on granite bases, and with stylized capitals. They support a large round-arch with rough stone impost blocks. On either side, fluted/spiral columns frame a stone balustrade above the arch.

On December 29 the Record & Guide explained "Work on the new 11-story loft building at Broadway and 12th street stopped seven weeks ago pending an adjustment of ownership." The renegotiation may have had to do with Mary Hopepin Smith’s name change following her marriage (she was now legally Mary H. S. Register). Construction resumed in 1907 and was completed in 1908.
