Looking for a building...

I'm looking for an older version of a building which has been around for quite some time. The current reincarnation is the grey & pink nightclub complete with red lights and "employees" of questionable moral character. It is a Faller #130440 "Lila-Eule" night club (see

kit but I'm told that it has been around in several different versions. I'd like to look for an older version as the "extras" probably drive the price of the latest version pretty high.



Anyone know how this building might have been packaged in the past? Under what brand name and as what type of building?



Thanks.

Model Power did it in HO also.... Don't have the number

Folks:

Gosh, we better stop Suydam from making any more matboard suburbs. Between Downtown Deco and Faller, the inner city is getting pretty sketchy. What with the addicts, streetwalkers,and Bohemian artists it will be as unlivable for normal people as NYC in short order. :)

Yes, I've seen it in N scale but I need an HO one. : ( I'll bet the price is different as well.

Do you happen to remember what it was called? I'm hoping to find one on Ebay or someplace like that. In that market, they aren't usually listed by item number. Usually it's by its product name.

The pictures I have are of a different angle, but it looks very much like a Pola kit that first came out around 1990, Their "Luxury Villa" (kit #822), and later as the "Baden Baden Casino".

Even back in 1990 though the retail price was $84.98. (Source, the 1990 Walthers catalog, page 422).

If you want a generic "Victorian Mansion" at a reasonable price, take a look at Heljan's "Synagogue" kit. It's a FULL SCALE model of the actual headquarters of the Jewish Hassidim movement in New York, and is a GORGEOUS kit at around $30!
