I am a tad concerned that the way those pediments are mounted may not conform to todays modern requirements for actually being held up, which might explain why they are missing to begin with. The brick faces may have to be redone completely, and the existing stone stripped and sanded or blasted to bring them to their former glory.. that and, like the william thomas building, the new ones would have to be requarried and carved, or made using fabricated stone block.

Also the ones on the corner would be challenging as it looks like those facades actually curved around the corner, kinda like how the windows curve.

I think this should be Liuna's next project - buy up the entire thing and redo it all. The problem is, like the building where the tattoo parlour and james st general store are, when you don't get the whole building and so some parts are remodeled and others are not, leaving a dilapitated mishmash.
