Well, on Thursday, I took a bunch more photos of both banks, happy to say that I wasn't hassled by anyone, and the police didn't question me either. Greg, no bail money needed! 
I decided to use wood as the insides of the two buildings against the backdrop, as they are mostly just simple brick structures with few windows. I'll use Walther's plastic brick sheet as the outer skin.
First, the wood pieces for the brown building:
Assembled:
Also built the core of the white building. I cut oversized openings in the wood where the windows will be. Then set the cores in place on the layout.
And a bing image of what I am shooting for:
The core of the brown building feels like it is too tall for its length as compared to the real thing. I scaled the height from a "straight-on" photo of the side of the building. I intuitively want to cut it down shorter, but my reason and logic tell me that it is technically correct. :?
