Charlie, glad to be of help. 
biL, not sure I would have been brave enough to be walking on bank property, propping the measuring stick up against the bank wall, then backing up and taking photos. :?
I have a "square on" photo of the back of the brown building, printed it out, then measured the width and height with a ruler, then used the width dimension from google earth to compute the height using ratios. On the photo, the building measured 7.5" wide and 2.2" tall. On google earth, the building measured 120 feet wide. So, 2.2 times 120 equals 264, divide that by 7.5 and we get 35.2 for the height of the building. Still, the model "feels" too tall. But I'll go with the calculated dimensions as i don't see how they can be incorrect.
