Upon closer examination, I see the texture-- nice. Texture is the one thing
that I just can't get enough of when it comes to building facades-- I just go
nuts over the LL buildings. I happen to really like the log bricks for this
kind of application (used them here myself:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=72978)
I say keep it, but if you happened to have some tan arches, see what they look
like...

Sometimes (most times?) it seems that an idea would work out perfectly, except
that either 1) one doesn't have the particular element in a certain color, or 2)
it isn't made in that color. I think that's the biggest hurdle preventing most
folks from creating some truly spectacular buildings. All of my own buildings
literary took months of acquistions from Brickbay and parting out sets to obtain
the necessary elements to create them-- a lot more work (or $$$) than the
average AFOL might be willing to undertake...
