===Building designs=== Buildings in ''SimCity 4'' are based on four distinct architectural styles, which can be selected individually or simultaneously for buildings to be built from. The earliest era is based on early office towers from [[Chicago, Illinois]], in the 1890s, the second era encompasses an [[Art Deco]]-based set from [[New York City]] based on the 1940s, the third includes a modernist/international style based on buildings from [[Houston, Texas]] in the 1990s, and the final is a modern European architecture based mostly around Germany in the 2000s. There are a number of buildings based on those found in [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]], including the [[Shell Building (San Francisco, California)|Shell Building]] (appearing as "Wren Insurance"),<ref name="Shell Building">{{cite web | url = http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=118743 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20040617153345/http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=118743 | url-status = usurped | archive-date = June 17, 2004 | title= Shell Building | publisher = [[Emporis]] | access-date=2008-06-18}}</ref> [[450 Sutter Street]] (appearing as "Vu Financial"),<ref name = "450 Sutter">{{cite web | url = http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=118820 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20040618050417/http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=118820 | url-status = usurped | archive-date = June 18, 2004 | title= 450 Sutter | publisher = [[Emporis]] | access-date=2008-06-18}}</ref> and the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Building also known as [[140 New Montgomery Street]] (as "The Galvin Corp").<ref name="140 New Montgomery">{{cite web | url = http://www.emporis.com/buildings/118764/140-new-montgomery-street-san-francisco-ca-usa | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150221001829/http://www.emporis.com/buildings/118764/140-new-montgomery-street-san-francisco-ca-usa | url-status = usurped | archive-date = February 21, 2015 | title = 140 New Montgomery | publisher = [[Emporis]] | access-date=2008-06-18}}</ref> The May Company store (now [[Los Angeles County Museum of Art|LACMA]] West) in Los Angeles appears as "Dennis Department Store."
