Very nice Paul!!!
It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who builds in the classic Lego scale
(doors=3 bricks tall, windows=2 or 3 bricks tall).
Now what you need to do is to build Columbus’s Leveque-Lincoln Tower, a 1926 55
story Art Deco tower of of heart rending beauty. That one was labeled the
worlds most beautiful skyscraper back in the late 1920’s. It was built by
Detroit (where I live) architect C. Howard Crane, who is most famous for the 250
movie palaces and movie theatres that he built.
C. Howard Crane was most famous for his show stopping Detroit Fox Theatre, a
5,174 seat “Siamese-Byzantine” over the top movie palace with “all the glories
of the east, far and near” (it is the worlds largest surviving movie palace
today). Detroit may have gotten his best theatre design, but Columbus got his
best office tower.
Great work Paul!

P.S. Here’s some of my classic Lego scale work:
