A couple of observations on Mountainman's pictures.
The street in Canon City doesn't have 2 buildings in a row with the same colour of brick. In the one picture I don't think any brick colour is repeated at all.
The first picture: a building with the remnants of its old neighbour still in the wall. This would take a lot of effort to model. (impressive when done)
We had a talk from a fellow who's family used to own a downtown hardware store. In the 50s the neighbouring bank decided to demolish and rebuild. Then they found that the hardware store didn't have any walls of its own; it had been hung from the walls of the existing next-door buildings. The bank had to scale back their plans by a couple of feet to leave the hardware store standing.
