Thank you for your comments! I really appreciate them. I admit the trees don't stand up to a closer inspection. Their purpose was to add some color to the city when looked from a distance and not make the model much heavier. They do look ugly close up.
Here's more pictures.
This picture shows the 11-story Adler Building on Market Street in 1900. In 1889 agricultural machines manufacturing company Adler Farm Mechanics purchased a lot on the Market Street for their new company headquarters. Business being succesful they wanted their headquarters to be "something Rocane had never seen" and hired a Chicago-based architectural firm to design the building. The result was a steel-framed building rising to 138 feet (42 m). The building was finished in 1892. Although being the first steel-framed building in Rocane, it isn't commonly referred to as Rocane's first skyscraper.
Here is the 14-story Burnham building on Main Street as it was in 1900. At 167 feet (51 m) it became the tallest building in Rocane when constructed in 1896. It took that title from the Adler Building and is usually acknowledged as the first skyscraper in Rocane. It was built as headquarters for the retail company Burnham & Co., but today it house offices for a bunch of small firms. The Burnham Building and the Adler Building are both designed in the Chicago School or Commercial style.
Here's a view of Main Street looking north in 1900. The Burnham Building can be seen a few blocks away.
And this is Rocane's skyline in 1900. The Burnham and Adler buildings rise at the center.
