Thanks for the comments on the library. Actually, the library was more of a test
building, as I plan on building a large courthouse using the library 'format'
for the most part, with some different column heads, 2 floors at least, etc.
I'll keep your suggestion in mind as I build the courthouse - maybe put another
row of bricks between the window top and the start of the next floor,
