I cannot tell a lie, found it with Google Image Search after keying in War of the Worlds. Looks like it may have been an actual miniature used for special effects on the flick. Either that, or someone's got WAY too much time on their hands.

It's a model diorama crafted from a scene in the movie is my guess, probably for a local competition. The film was pretty well-done for its day. From their other offerings and examples, it looks like they're into serious professional archetectural modelling, rather than just *having too much time on their hands.*
