It sits on a corner with two facades covered in porcelain panels and a corner tower vs the usual location. Would love any tips or advice you have, like what color green did they use for the trim? Also if you know of similar with the corner tower I’d love to see pics. Thanks!

Carolina this is but I hope it is not in a hoodrat, KFC, purple drank infested area or all your hard work will be destroyed by thieves and vandals in very short order... Robert Usrey
