The Fake Front

Down in the old city part of Nuremberg, there's a cop station.  It was a plain regular building to start with, and along the way.....some folks got fancy ideas, a bit of cash, and they built a fake fortress-like front to the building.

A guy from Bama would pause and look over the idea.  It's just a regular two story block building to start with....nothing fancy or special about it.

You can figure there's about fifty thousand in stones, and probably three months of labor for a couple of guys to arrange the stones to cover only the front side of the building....in a special way.  It stands out.  Simple concept that you could repeat everywhere....if you just had real stone masons around.
