Muddle in the Middle of Montreal Street

I have a corner of my anatomically-incorrect Hanley Spur layout that will be a little bit of Division Street and a little bit of Montreal Street. And Railway Street and Rideau Street?

I'd like to include Gus Marker Cement and K-D in this corner. I have some previous ready-mix cement plant structures I can incorporate.


K-D had characteristically rounded rooflines:
