Sadly, I think we really now are coming to an end. There are some I think "could" be found

Incidentally, I found this image on the facebook page so am more convince than ever that the museum of gold is based on the church in venice

Nope. Not that I see. 😞

I have looked at over a thousand castle images, both real and fictional. Still striking out on the rest that you posted. House of Wax is truly driving me batty 🥴.

The shopping mall is the one driving me nuts. Now looking at old department store buildings like Harrods and Gimbles

Why don't we switch obsessions. I'll look for the shopping mall, and you look for House of Wax. Let me know when you reach the point that you want to punch google every time you see Pidhirtsi Castle for the thousandth time and get excited for a brief second

@Chloe11111 I imagine that you cry whenever you see this. So close, yet no roofline match...

@Chloe11111 Seriously... Are we sure they didn't just merge all the old Hudson's Bay stores and throw in a more interesting roofline? In order, the one in Calgary has the wee little arch and the corner "spires" on the roof from street view; The one in Toronto has the correct storefront and arched window over the door; The old storefront in Toronto has the awnings; and the one in NYC has the arched window and horizontal divider on the front glass doors. Do you know of any more Hudson's Bay classic buildings? Because they all have similar architecture that match the Shopping Mall, just with different details.

There is a classic hudson bay store in every city in Canada. The one in Winnipeg has the railings on the roof

Notes for me to check
- Black Queen's Castle may be Château Miranda in Celles, Belgium may be cochem castle in germany
- Hotel is U.S. Grant Hotel in San Diego

 

[Chloe11111]

Hotel is US grant hotel for sure

The locomotive monument is based on the train in transport empire

Found a post on FB that said Busan has influenced the game so I went looking. So far - a concept design for an opera house http://rocker-lange.com/blog/?p=732 that may resemble one of the heli terminals

I think the institute of seismology is based on the park row building in New York

I thought of those for the Black Queen's Castle. However, the Chateau Miranda does not have the right roof for the tower (not elongated), and no match to outer buildings/gate. The Cochem Castle has the elongated roofline for the tower, plus the spires, but nothing else matches. I keep thinking that it looks like a fictional castle... but continue to search in real life and fiction.

The building is not in use any more but it still counts. Airline alliance hq is United Aircraft Corporation HQ (contest entry I guess). Didn't get built. I can't add it to the wiki because the image for the hq is changed. I can't even add it to the map because it's not built. But at least I can show it off here.

"United Aircraft Corporation" Headquarters - Резерв

Conjunction of glass and aluminum, a volatile metal, ensures the visual lightness of the construction that echoes with airplanes on the nearby airfield.

@Jenn B have you looked at the castles of Vinpearl Resort in Nha Trang?

@Jenn B have you looked at the castles of Vinpearl Resort in Nha Trang?

Yes. The 4 turrets on the tower and the clock of the main castle are really the only things that match Castle Rock. I keep thinking that it is fictional/Disney-esque (or built by a billionaire who wanted a castle) because the whole building is architecturally a hot mess. Who the heck puts 4 turrets on a tower that would obstruct the view from the tower windows? Looking closely, some of the towers appear to have fleur de lis, so maybe France? Disneyland Paris was a swing-and-a-miss.

@Chloe11111 Boo-yah! You nailed it earlier (just the wrong castle)! Castle Rock = Chateau de Noisy (Chateau Miranda) in Belgium. (Apparently people do put turrets on a tower that obstruct the view)
