Thank you for the input. I have addressed each of your comments below: (...) I agree. I can either replace the white windows with 2x2 trans-black panels (but my Penobscot Building had been using all of those up) or I can use more 1x2 clear bricks; (...)

(...) Thanks. By the way, you are thinking of the Battersea power station (1939-) in London which was on the album cover. That would be a cool MOC to do since it is an example of industrial art deco. My building represents a design from 1910-1920. (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, FTX)
