I have several architecture books I browse thru for ideas.  Old buildings are
my hobby (majoring in Historic Preservation) and I usually try to model my
buildings after certain architectural styles or specific buildings.  I can
bring some books at a Michlug meeting if you like.

The floors are large plates suported by the walls.  In some small buildings I
can use bricks for floors but the hotel was too big.  Unfortunatly after a few
such buildings my plate supply reaches the bottom of the barrel.  I'll be all
smiles if Lego ever comes out with bulk large plates.
