If you are asking, did he really look for colors for every building? The answer is always yes, I looked for each one, numbering them as I went to keep track. There were only a handful of buildings that exists today. Some are hard to find because while they are tall in this picture, they aren't tall on a current map that has taller buildings.
A handful of buildings exist today, a few in the front, a few in the back, those churches, in some form or another I found the color. The rest were based off the buildings that exist today.
I still don't know the name of the little church. Large crowd, I know when it was built, taken down, what it was when it wasn't a church any more, but there is no record of its name. I have to wonder why there are so many loose bricks on the roof tops.
