Ellis Island New York
Designed by Edward Lippincott Tilton and William Alciphron Boring
1900 New York, USA
Over one hundred million Americans are able to trace their ancestry to a man, woman or child, whose names are recorded in the great registry room on Ellis Island.
More Info
Based in the Upper New York Bay area, Ellis Island was the gateway to the United States from 1892 – 1954.
When the wooden structure burnt down in 1897 a competition was launched to design a fireproof immigration station.
Tilton and Boring won the competition at the 1900 Paris Exposition with their French Renaissance Revival style design to build the first phase.
This included the main building (which this model shows) the powerhouse, hospital wings and laundry.
The building opened in December 1900 built of red brick with limestone trim. This was one of the first federal buildings to be designed by a private architect, rather than those directly employed by the government.

Euston Arch London
Demolished
Designed by Philip Hardwick
Completed 1838,
Demolished 1961
A statement of modernism and a symbol of building links between London and the North. The Euston Arch was the centrepiece of Euston Station, the world’s first main line terminus in a capital city.
Designed by Philip Hardwick
Completed 1838,
Demolished 1961
A statement of modernism and a symbol of building links between London and the North. The Euston Arch was the centrepiece of Euston Station, the world’s first main line terminus in a capital city.
More Info
Built on a huge scale, it symbolised modernity and new links between London and the North.
It was the first great monument of the railway age, which Britain pioneered.
The arch was designed in the Greek Revival style, standing 70 feet high. Being factually correct, the structure was not an arch at all, but a propylaeum or ‘gateway’.
It was modelled on the famous Propylaeum at the Acropolis in Athens, built in c. 450 BC.
But the arch was no copy or pastiche – it was an inspired interpretation of great refinement, also drawing on Roman buildings such as the gate to the Roman Agora in Athens.
Yet the Euston Arch also, in its ingenious and pioneering construction, expressed pride and confidence in its own age. Although inspired by ancient Greek architecture and apparently of traditional masonry construction, the Arch was in fact modern in conception and incorporated much structural ironwork.
The Arch was demolished in 1962 after a failed campaign to save it, most of the stones from the Arch ended up at the bottom of the river Lea in east London.
The model represents what the proposed rebuilt arch would look like, being built between the two lodges on Euston Square overlooking the Euston Road.
The lodges are all that remain of the old station.
The model is made from plaster with details in etched brass. In the centre of the plinth can be seen the names of the locations where the trains from Euston used to serve.
These names can be seen for real on the two lodges.
This model is hand made to order and may take 4 weeks to produce. If you require this model urgently please contact the workshop directly.

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Designed by Richard Morris Hunt
When – 1902
Where – New York, US
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest art museums in the world.
More Info
It was granted the land between East Park drive, Fifth Avenue and the 79th & 85th roads of Central Park in 1871.
Calvert Vaux designed the original red-brick and stone ‘mausoleum’ in collaboration with Jacob Wrey Mould which is now hidden from view.
In 1894 Richard Morris Hunt began the design for the new central section, which he continued to work on until his death in 1895.
His son Richard Howland Hunt then took up the project accompanied by George B. Post and the design was completed in 1902.
The high Victorian Gothic style was not well received however as the style had gone out of favour by the time it was the finished.
The project was deemed a ‘mistake’ and within 20 years a new plan which engulfing the old building was built along with many more additions over the years.

The nation saw itself as heir to ancient civilization and assumed the image of Greek and Roman Classical architecture for its own.
Palladio’s reconstruction drawings of temples in I Quattro Libri served as a primary source of inspiration for many monumental public buildings erected from 1876 well into the 1930s.
America’s most imposing temple-like structure of this period is the United States Supreme Court by the prominent architect Cass Gilbert.
With its great octastyle Corinthian portico, the Supreme Court directly references the Temple of Mars the Avenger, a conjectural image of which was first published by Palladio.
The porticoed temple was a form developed by the ancients to inspire awe.

University of Salamanca Spain
Its origin, like all older universities, was a Cathedral School, whose existence can be traced back to 1130.
More Info
The university was founded in 1134 and recognized as a "General School of the Kingdom" by the Leonese King Alfonso IX in 1218.
Granted Royal Chart by King Alfonso X, dated 8 May 1254, as the University of Salamanca this established the rules for organization and financial endowment.
On the basis of a papal bull by Alexander IV in 1255, which confirmed the Royal Charter of Alfonso X, the school obtained the title of University.
The historical phrases "Quod Natura non Dat, Salmantica non Praestat" (what nature does not give, Salamanca does not lend, in Latin) and Multos et doctissimos Salmantica habet (many and very versed Salamanca has) give an idea of the prestige the institution rapidly acquired.
In the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castille, the
Spanish government was revamped.
Contemporary with the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion of the Jews and Muslims, and the conquest of Granada, there was a certain professionalisation of the apparatus of the state.
In the 19th century, the Spanish government dissolved the university's faculties of canon law and theology.
They were later reestablished in the 1940s as part of the Pontifical University of Salamanca.

Connolly Folly, Ireland
(Please contact the office for enquiries about this model)
(Please contact the office for enquiries about this model)
Conolly's Folly a.k.a. The Obelisk is an Obelisk structure and national monument is located near Maynooth, County Kildare Ireland.
More Info
The Folly was built within the Castleton Estate (containing Castleton House, which contains two follies, both commissioned by Katherine Conolly, the philanthropic widow of Speaker William Conolly, to provide employment for hundreds of the poor of Celbridge when the famine of 1740 - 41was at its worst. The Obelisk was built in 1740 after a particularly severe winter.
As a folly, it could be seen from the back of Castletown some 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) away and it is built exactly perpendicular to the house. It was intended to mark the rear entrance gateway to Castletown house in conjunction with an avenue leading to the house.
The folly was built on land that was near to, but not on, the Conolly estate. It therefore belonged to neighbouring Carton, the home of the FitzGerald family, Dukes of Leinster.
Designed by Richard Castle, it is 42 metres (140 feet) high and is composed of several arches, adorned by stone pineapples and eagles, topped by a massive obelisk pillar. It was restored in 1965 by the Irish Georgian Society.
According to the Irish Georgian Society, the Folly was acquired in 1960 (then in a ruinous state) thanks to the generosity of Rose Saul Zalles. Its restoration was the Society's first major project.

Ellis Island New York
Designed by Edward Lippincott Tilton and William Alciphron Boring
1900 New York, USA
Over one hundred million Americans are able to trace their ancestry to a man, woman or child, whose names are recorded in the great registry room on Ellis Island.
More Info
Based in the Upper New York Bay area, Ellis Island was the gateway to the United States from 1892 – 1954.
When the wooden structure burnt down in 1897 a competition was launched to design a fireproof immigration station.
Tilton and Boring won the competition at the 1900 Paris Exposition with their French Renaissance Revival style design to build the first phase.
This included the main building (which this model shows) the powerhouse, hospital wings and laundry.
The building opened in December 1900 built of red brick with limestone trim. This was one of the first federal buildings to be designed by a private architect, rather than those directly employed by the government.

Euston Arch London
Demolished
Designed by Philip Hardwick
Completed 1838,
Demolished 1961
A statement of modernism and a symbol of building links between London and the North. The Euston Arch was the centrepiece of Euston Station, the world’s first main line terminus in a capital city.
Designed by Philip Hardwick
Completed 1838,
Demolished 1961
A statement of modernism and a symbol of building links between London and the North. The Euston Arch was the centrepiece of Euston Station, the world’s first main line terminus in a capital city.
More Info
Built on a huge scale, it symbolised modernity and new links between London and the North.
It was the first great monument of the railway age, which Britain pioneered.
The arch was designed in the Greek Revival style, standing 70 feet high. Being factually correct, the structure was not an arch at all, but a propylaeum or ‘gateway’.
It was modelled on the famous Propylaeum at the Acropolis in Athens, built in c. 450 BC.
But the arch was no copy or pastiche – it was an inspired interpretation of great refinement, also drawing on Roman buildings such as the gate to the Roman Agora in Athens.
Yet the Euston Arch also, in its ingenious and pioneering construction, expressed pride and confidence in its own age. Although inspired by ancient Greek architecture and apparently of traditional masonry construction, the Arch was in fact modern in conception and incorporated much structural ironwork.
The Arch was demolished in 1962 after a failed campaign to save it, most of the stones from the Arch ended up at the bottom of the river Lea in east London.
The model represents what the proposed rebuilt arch would look like, being built between the two lodges on Euston Square overlooking the Euston Road.
The lodges are all that remain of the old station.
The model is made from plaster with details in etched brass. In the centre of the plinth can be seen the names of the locations where the trains from Euston used to serve.
These names can be seen for real on the two lodges.
This model is hand made to order and may take 4 weeks to produce. If you require this model urgently please contact the workshop directly.

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Designed by Richard Morris Hunt
When – 1902
Where – New York, US
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest art museums in the world.
More Info
It was granted the land between East Park drive, Fifth Avenue and the 79th & 85th roads of Central Park in 1871.
Calvert Vaux designed the original red-brick and stone ‘mausoleum’ in collaboration with Jacob Wrey Mould which is now hidden from view.
In 1894 Richard Morris Hunt began the design for the new central section, which he continued to work on until his death in 1895.
His son Richard Howland Hunt then took up the project accompanied by George B. Post and the design was completed in 1902.
The high Victorian Gothic style was not well received however as the style had gone out of favour by the time it was the finished.
The project was deemed a ‘mistake’ and within 20 years a new plan which engulfing the old building was built along with many more additions over the years.

The nation saw itself as heir to ancient civilization and assumed the image of Greek and Roman Classical architecture for its own.
Palladio’s reconstruction drawings of temples in I Quattro Libri served as a primary source of inspiration for many monumental public buildings erected from 1876 well into the 1930s.
America’s most imposing temple-like structure of this period is the United States Supreme Court by the prominent architect Cass Gilbert.
With its great octastyle Corinthian portico, the Supreme Court directly references the Temple of Mars the Avenger, a conjectural image of which was first published by Palladio.
The porticoed temple was a form developed by the ancients to inspire awe.

University of Salamanca Spain
Its origin, like all older universities, was a Cathedral School, whose existence can be traced back to 1130.
More Info
The university was founded in 1134 and recognized as a "General School of the Kingdom" by the Leonese King Alfonso IX in 1218.
Granted Royal Chart by King Alfonso X, dated 8 May 1254, as the University of Salamanca this established the rules for organization and financial endowment.
On the basis of a papal bull by Alexander IV in 1255, which confirmed the Royal Charter of Alfonso X, the school obtained the title of University.
The historical phrases "Quod Natura non Dat, Salmantica non Praestat" (what nature does not give, Salamanca does not lend, in Latin) and Multos et doctissimos Salmantica habet (many and very versed Salamanca has) give an idea of the prestige the institution rapidly acquired.
In the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castille, the
Spanish government was revamped.
Contemporary with the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion of the Jews and Muslims, and the conquest of Granada, there was a certain professionalisation of the apparatus of the state.
In the 19th century, the Spanish government dissolved the university's faculties of canon law and theology.
They were later reestablished in the 1940s as part of the Pontifical University of Salamanca.

Connolly Folly, Ireland
(Please contact the office for enquiries about this model)
(Please contact the office for enquiries about this model)
Conolly's Folly a.k.a. The Obelisk is an Obelisk structure and national monument is located near Maynooth, County Kildare Ireland.
More Info
The Folly was built within the Castleton Estate (containing Castleton House, which contains two follies, both commissioned by Katherine Conolly, the philanthropic widow of Speaker William Conolly, to provide employment for hundreds of the poor of Celbridge when the famine of 1740 - 41was at its worst. The Obelisk was built in 1740 after a particularly severe winter.
As a folly, it could be seen from the back of Castletown some 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) away and it is built exactly perpendicular to the house. It was intended to mark the rear entrance gateway to Castletown house in conjunction with an avenue leading to the house.
The folly was built on land that was near to, but not on, the Conolly estate. It therefore belonged to neighbouring Carton, the home of the FitzGerald family, Dukes of Leinster.
Designed by Richard Castle, it is 42 metres (140 feet) high and is composed of several arches, adorned by stone pineapples and eagles, topped by a massive obelisk pillar. It was restored in 1965 by the Irish Georgian Society.
According to the Irish Georgian Society, the Folly was acquired in 1960 (then in a ruinous state) thanks to the generosity of Rose Saul Zalles. Its restoration was the Society's first major project.
