    I would get in on this if I had any more room on my layout. I would think that Design Preservation Models, (DPM) would have a kit or parts that could be used as a launch pad for the project.Looking forward to seeing your build as you do great work.

    Thanks for the introduction to Sanborn maps, I had often wondered where to look for such items. In such a touristy street, how was the meal?
    I might give the build a go but puzzle how to do the cornice without a 3D printer. I see that the Sanborn key shows those two adjacent buildings as having a metal cornice, not sure what that refers to.

      As I recall, I ordered the Flight of the Benedicts - three different styles of eggs Benedict (you choose from about 10 different varieties). They were amazing...and amazingly decadent!
      I've been thinking about this build since last September. As Motortown Curiousities mentioned, it might be possible to use some cornice detail from one or more DPM kits. Walthers Modulars might be a possibility. I also thought about layering sheets of 0.010" styrene. The hardest part will be creating that row of triangular recesses just below the cornice - it looks to be three bricks high.
      I do not have a 3D printer either, but I know that Shapeways will let you upload a design and print it for you. At the moment, I'm leaning toward printing the brick portion of the facade and building up the frame portion from styrene.
      I'll keep you posted.

    As soon as I saw the building, I said to myself, I have a kit that looks very much like that building. I think it is Suydam kit. I don't know if I will do the build, but I will definitely follow along.

      I'd love to see a photo of that kit. I have a kit from Classic Miniatures called Work's Hardware - it has a similar feel, but it's a wooden facade.
