Art Metropole: 2nd & 3rd floor overlays

I continued on with applying 'stone' overlays to layer 1.

While working on the middle section I swung firmly towards making this model an approximation of the real thing and not an exact replica. Overall, the facade has an Art Metropole feeling, but close examination shows liberties have been taken.

For example, I've added some trim with 2"x4" scale lumber to accentuate some lines in the reference photos, but they aren't exactly correct.

Interestingly, this deviation from the prototype didn't seem to bother me as I found work on this section as calming as work on the ground floor. Strange.

It's on to the top floor and the decorative work around the semicircular window.
