DKS.... how did you fabricate the two building fronts in the first picture? What kits and reassembled how? those look like what I'm trying for.

I made those for my Jersey City Industrial, shooting for the look of Jersey City back in the day--





The building to the left is the upper floors of the Corner Apothecary grafted onto the storefront from Erik's Emporium.



The one on the right is the upper floors of the back wall from Reed's Books sandwiched between the storefront and cornice of Haye's Hardware.

Thanks, DKS. I see any front needs a cornice. I'm going for 4-story buildings so I'll just chop various walls to stack over a store front, then add the cornice. Only need one building like that.
I also made a "Sears Department Store" out of bashing/rearranging the hotel. In that case the fancy walls go only partway down the sides, and the back half of the wall is plain windows/brick. Not ready to show it now, tho.
The best thing about sticking buildings together is it frees up all the sides for other uses.
