Each shot now has its own section with the image embedded, its view, expected content and both verdicts, plus a status table at the top that links to them. A path alone was not a review: the owner had to open five PNGs to judge a pass. Also recorded in AGENTS.md (a path is not a review; approval ticks both the section and the table row), the two retail assets and tools in the arc42 building block view and the combined architecture.md, and prettier-formatted the changed files.

# Reference analysis — retail frontage, 0.1.6
|
||
|
||
Phase 0 of the `references` pack (reference-image-match). Written before any geometry, because the pass that produced the hero façade skipped it and cost two rebuilds.

| Description | "Lee Drug and 6806 Hollywood Buildings in Hollywood" |
|
||
| Coverage | Both target buildings in one frame, mid-morning sun from the south-east |
|
||
|
||
**One photograph is the whole evidence base for 6800 and 6806–6820.** It is a street-level oblique, not an elevation: verticals converge, the ground floor of 6806–6820 is partly behind a parked car, and the Lee Drug shopfront is behind a bus. Everything below that the photo does not resolve is marked _assumed_ and is carried into the part report.
|
||
|
||
**6822 Budget has no photograph.** It is a 6.0 m × 5.5 m single-storey sliver west of 6806–6820, and the TODO item already records that Commons has nothing usable. It stays a blockout extrusion and the item is deferred rather than guessed.
|
||
|
||
## Measured (not from the photo)
|
||
|
||
From `Geo/raw/osm-api-map-2026-11-06.osm` and the blockout, in the shared frame (metres, X east, Y north, Z from the project datum):
|
||
|
||
| Building | OSM way | X | Front face Y | Height | Depth |

|
||
| 6800 Lee Drug | 424024149 | −33.20 … −14.37 | −14.63 | 12.10 m | 33.5 m |
|
||
| 6806–6820 | 424024150 | −66.08 … −33.07 | −12.52 | 12.10 m | 30.8 m |
|
||
| 6822 Budget | 424024144 | −78.54 … −72.52 | −12.92 | 5.50 m | 15.4 m |
|
||
|
||
Both target buildings are 12.10 m tall, which makes the _relative_ proportions in the photo directly usable: the parapet line, the cornice and the shopfront line can be read as fractions of the frame height.

|
||
| Subject | Corner retail block at Hollywood × Highland; the street face and the corner return are both visible |
|
||
| Silhouette | Long low box, broken by a **rounded corner tower** that rises above the frontage parapet; the parapet is **stepped**, not flat |
|
||
| Storeys | Two zones, not storeys: a tall shopfront zone and a single tall display wall above it |
|
||
| Proportion (vertical) | Shopfront ≈ 0 → 0.36 H; bronze cornice ≈ 0.36 → 0.43 H; mural + lettering wall ≈ 0.43 → 0.82 H; stepped parapet ≈ 0.82 → 1.0 H (_assumed split; read off the frame, ±0.03 H_) |
|
||
| Proportion (horizontal) | Corner tower occupies ≈ 4 m of the east end; eight mural panels at roughly 2.2 m centres along the frontage |
|
||
| Colour | Cream stucco wall `#EDE6D8`, bronze/brown cornice `#6B4A2F`, near-black mural plates `#1C1A18`, dark glazing `#20262A` (_sampled from the frame_) |
|
||
| Unique features | Stepped Deco parapet with 4 horizontal reveal lines; projecting bronze cornice; row of black celebrity-portrait panels; large dark "SOUVENIRS OF …" lettering on the upper wall; shopfront glazing with slim mullions |
|
||
| Mood | 1930s Deco retail, freshly painted, bright midday |

|
||
| Silhouette | Flat-fronted two-storey block; parapet steps up in fins at the west end |
|
||
| Proportion (vertical) | Shopfront ≈ 0 → 0.32 H; burgundy fascia band ≈ 0.32 → 0.38 H; window storey ≈ 0.38 → 0.62 H; blank wall + parapet ≈ 0.62 → 1.0 H (_assumed_) |
|
||
| Horizontal | Brown pilaster strips divide the frontage into roughly 3 m bays; seven upper windows across 33 m |
|
||
| Colour | Same cream stucco; brown pilasters `#6B4A2F`; **burgundy-green** fascia `#5B3A3A`; white window frames |
|
||
| Unique features | Banded parapet with 3 reveal lines; white-framed upper windows with security bars; shopfront glazing behind a burgundy fascia |
|
||
|
||
## Camera match (for the review shot)
|
||
|
||
The photo is a street-level oblique from the **north** side looking south-east, subject filling ~80 % of the frame width. The demo review shot must reproduce that: camera at 1.7 m on the north sidewalk, yaw toward the south frontage, 35–42° lens, both buildings in frame. A wide block view will not compare usefully against this crop.
|
||
|
||
## Assumptions to carry into the model report
|
||
|
||
1. Vertical proportions, as above — the photo's convergence makes a pixel-perfect read impossible.
|
||
2. Mural panel size and spacing; the lettering is modelled as a recessed plate, not as text.
|
||
3. Shopfront bay spacing on both buildings; the bus hides most of Lee Drug's ground floor.
|
||
4. Parapet reveal line count (4 on Lee Drug, 3 on 6806–6820).
|
||
5. Corner tower radius; only the outer curve is visible.
