[[wp:26 Broadway|26 Broadway]] (Standard Oil Building) (simplified and reduced in size, with the crowning roof in the game's rendition also noticably toned down and featuring only stepped layers in place of a pitched roof), [http://www.emporis.com/building/250broadway-newyorkcity-ny-usa 250 Broadway] and [http://www.city-data.com/businesses/684023039-strawberry-new-york-ny.html 253 Broadway] (which is also reused in various other portions of downtown-midtown Algonquin) are also reproduced and incorporated into the district.
While heavily weighted towards the civic center of the city, the park area also representative of [[wp:Bowling Green (New York City)|Bowling Green]] as evidenced with the presence of a large building to the south based on [[wp:26 Broadway|26 Broadway]] (Standard Oil Building), simplified and reduced in size, with the crowning roof in the game's rendition also noticeably toned down and featuring only stepped layers in place of a pitched roof.
