About the Price Building
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, is home to the Price Building (Édifice Price), a skyscraper with 18 floors that originally had 16. Price Brothers Limited had it built in 1928–1930, amid controversy, and it stands as the tallest building within the Old Quebec historical district. It also counts among Canada's oldest skyscrapers. The Montreal firm Ross and Macdonald, described as prestigious, was awarded the design, and the new building replaced two historic houses.
The architects followed the art deco fashion of the period. Setbacks gradually reduce the floor area toward the top, producing an elongated "wedding cake" shape that softens how the tower affects the skyline. The lot is only 24 meters (79 ft) wide. A structural steel frame, a first for the city, is covered in gray limestone, with geometric motifs carved into the stone, especially over the first few levels, and a steepled copper roof in the Châteauesque manner crowns the building.
The exterior is decorated with pilasters capped by palm motifs, with pinnacles, and with a large vaulted arch above the main entrance. Two upper floors, the 16th and 17th, became the official residence of Quebec's Premier in 2001. In 2002 a sculpture of a log driver at work, named "L'Homme-Rivière", was unveiled beside the building. A few years after construction, the city council adopted a by-law capping building heights in the old town at 65 feet (19.8 m).
About this model
The Price Building is one of more than 5,500 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Each model is written as code from public descriptions, plans, photographs and aerial views used only as references; no image or third-party model is copied into it. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. Rights in the building itself, its name and any brands on it are not granted by Mini Skyline; clear them separately before you sell prints. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
