Puck Building

Puck Building is a rust-color building located at 295-309 Lafayette Street, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by Albert and Herman, who drew inspiration from the German Rundbogenstil of the 19th century.

The Puck Building got its name because it was the base for the satirical magazine Puck from 1887 to 1916. It even held the distinction, at the turn of the 20th century, to being the biggest structure in the world used for lithography and publishing.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website.

I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
