Article needs photo

Do you have a photograph of either the box that American Skyline came in, or a photo of a model building you made using American Skyline? Please consider uploading it for use in this article. Karl Hahn (T) (C) 15:12, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I remember playing with these at my grandfather's house. I'll have to ask him if he still has them. If so, I'll get a picture ASAP. -W0lfie (talk) 18:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I found these photos[1], but they're not CC or GFDL or whatever the preferred license is these days.-W0lfie (talk) 18:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for having this page!

I had some of these about 1960 or so (don't recall the exact years). Just the other day, I saw an apartment building under construction and its method of construction reminded me of the American Skyline set. In particular, prefab sections of walls (with windows already in place) are lifted into place with a big crane. Thanks to Wikipedia for confirming that I recalled the name correctly, and the name of the company that made it, which are important facts if I wish to search elsewhere. And while the article is rated "stub class," I would say that for a stub, it's a fine job! The article doesn't cite sources; otherwise, I would simply improve its rating to Start Class. As to the "notability" criterion, one could observe mentions like the one on this page from the American Institute of Architects. Oaklandguy (talk) 01:43, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
