Jonathan,
One word, Magnificent!
I love it! It has a look that is reminiscent of several famous buildings: 1)
Old US Post Office tower in the Federal Triangle in Washington DC, 2) the tower
of Chicago’s famous Wrigley Building on Michigan Ave. at the Chicago River
Bridge (Magnificent Mile), and 3) the US Customs House in Boston.
I love your use of arches. And I really love the fact that it is in the classic
Lego scale. The classic scale, used before the advent of minifigs, was used in
Lego buildings from 1957-circa 1974. The doors were 3 bricks high, and most
classic windows were 2 bricks high. All my buildings are in the classic scale,
but I use actual classic windows (I’ve cornered the market :-). But you have
shown that you really don’t need real windows to make a real masterpiece.
