Thanks - I traded away a lot of my castle shields for other architectural
parts. I'm glad I kept these!

Yep. Here are some pics of the one I was originally modeling:

I removed two of the central bays because the original version was way too
big (for my current brick count and available space). My final model only
vaguely resembles this building. The only similarity, in fact, are the two
projecting bays at either side. I started out trying to do a fairly nice
(but reduced) model of this building, but I just couldn't get it to look
right, so I kept modifying it.
