City - Cincinnati, OH - The Federal Building 1901 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1901
Original title: Federal Building
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: 99 E 5th St, Cincinnati, OH
This was the United States Custom House and Post Office in Cincinnati, Ohio, built in 1885, it served as the main federal building. The building was placed here because the fountain that was installed earlier, attracted a lot of attention. This building has some historic importance, they had a few famous people visit it. Three Presidents - James Monroe, Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams - had visited it. Abraham Lincoln had spoken there. It was torn down in 1936.
By the 1930's the city grown larger and this building was too small, having only 27 departments. Ironically the new building is actually smaller than this one. The court house (Potter Stewart), was a little smaller, but the office space was larger. While physically the building was smaller looking, it has more floors, this building only has five stories, the new one has nine stories, the height was about the same. Presumably they had much taller ceilings in this building.
You can see a newer style street car which uses power lines overhead.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

Jigsaw puzzle is of excellent quality, finish. Only thing I was not too happy about was the actual image printed on the outside of the accompanying presentation box. It was printed approximately A6 in size and was half the actual size of the presentation box. Making it difficult for me to see the actual jigsaw puzzle design when trying to put together the actual jigsaw puzzle :(.

I like puzzles but can't commit to thousands of pieces. I chose this one in 110 pieces because I wanted a challenge that could be completed in a few hours. This one took approx 3.5 hours to complete. The image is pretty uniform throughout so may seem daunting but some of the jigsaw pieces are quite unique which helps. You definitely need a good eye for detail and this puzzle is challenging and engaging giving the satisfaction of completion after a relatively short commitment of time.
I do not like thousands of pieces because I don't have the time or motivation to keep going back to a puzzle which needs to be stored and moved and this can result in a loss of pieces.
The box the puzzle is supplied in is good quality and will store the puzzle safely for a long time. The box also fits on one of my small bookcase so storage is very easy. The puzzle print is slightly smaller than the image on the box and this makes orientation of the puzzle harder. The image is of really good quality though and I'm happy with the quality of this aspect.
