This photo came to us courtesy of the Golden Glow FB page--it in turn came from the JAPAN TIMES. So I checked into them and they have an archive--paid--you know it never occurred to me to use this as a source for info on our houses--but now it does...so as soon as I check out what the subscription rate is--or maybe limited access to their archives, I'm going to sign up if it is not cost prohibitive.

greetings to all...

here's my drawing of what could be done based on a similar (but smaller) house known to exist...see the photo...

it would be a very impressive skyline building...but old howard is probably not going to build one...

again...this is just a starting place...so many trim options...so many windows to cut...

my very best regards...howard.../

Wow Howard I did a sketch of my own but mine is based on the Flatiron Clock house's horizontal bands and punched windows.
But there is a second skyscraper building on the right side of the photo.
Attached is my sketch of the two without dimensions yet. I need to find my pattern for the Flatiron building to get the right proportions.
Is anyone going to tackle this, or these, project(s)?
