First, thanks to Frank for his generous trades, and to everyone for their praise. Last night I replaced the door hinges with his
white ones; it was one of those minor details that could have kept me from working on it, but now that it's all the right color, I
feel motivated.
I plan to match the front roof with a removable back section. I think this will end up being my first four-walled building. I still
want to make the interior accessable, so the temple-part will have a removable roof and the entire temple will lift off the ground
floor. The ground floor, which I haven't started, will be in light grey and primarily be a staircase that leads up to the main
level.
I started from the columns, and then built the portico, and then took a trip to Charleston where I saw the US Customs House. Then I
saw what type of building I was building.

(I just searched for and found the pictures. My building is much smaller and less grand -- but still, these pictures are a good
inspiration.)
The one detail I'd like to puzzle out can be seen in this picture:

The lower level is made of a large coarse grey block with a sizable mortar line. Maybe I'll alternate light grey bricks with dark
grey plates.
