The News Building, also known as the Daily News Building, is an art deco skyscraper. It was built in 1929 to the design of Raymond Hood. It was originally the headquarters of the New York Daily News.
The News Building is a National Historic Landmark. It is perhaps best known as the headquarters of the fictional newspaper the Daily Planet and the building where Superman works as journalist Clark Kent. Our architectural sculpture is of the 42nd Street entrance facade with its 3-story limestone bas-relief depicting the people of New York City with a background of skyscrapers.
Each of our architectural sculptures is handmade in our studio in Sussex, England. They are made of strong plaster that has a reassuring weight and smooth, cool feel. The window frames and door are made of etched brass. Stylish ornaments, gifts or presents that are handmade in Britain and look fabulous on a desk, shelf or wall.
Address: 220 East 42nd Street, New York, NY 10017, United States.

| The cityscape I order from you arrived safely and on time in Atlanta and son and daughter-in-law were delighted with their Christmas present. Our daughter-in-law is an illustrator and graphic designer and she loved the craftsmanship. You were a delight to do business with. Thank you. | |

| We are delighted with the model of Venice. I was impressed by the model itself but you did a good job with the packaging too, the very fragile plasterwork arrived in good shape. I opted the unpainted option as the bright blue of the grand canal looked a bit garish. Presentation is good with the perspex cover. Just mulling over weather to leave it as is or figure out how to hang it on the wall. Thanks again, regards Steve Walker | |
