Do Stonemason's Outlaw Alley and Streets Of The Wild West have same buildings? A couple appear the same other than different signage.

    You are right. Those from Outlaw Alley are the same (except for that one tucked in behind on the far left), with an added layer of snow. But, y'know, all those western town look alike, right? They're outlaws, not architects. Maybe they're franchises, they've got the market covered...

    I went with The Streets of the Wild West because I couldn't ever recall a wild west USA town situated in rocks like Outlaw Alley is.

     I was thinking the same thing, but I do like the snow covered version.

    Doesn't appear to be a chapel in  Streets, only Outlaws ... yeah, I guess the outlaws need to confess every once in awhile

    Nice try, except that the "Wild West Period" ended in 1895 while Sears was founded in 1893 and didn't start selling kit houses until 1908.

    Real outlaws don't confess... 'cause real outlaws don't feel guilty about nuttin'.

    They existed, but only when it was absolutely necessarry for some logistical reason, like a mining town.  Otherwise it made much more sense to find a flat area to build in given that the main forms of transportation were horses, wagons and human feet, all of which work much better on smooth ground.  That said, I do question the logic of an outlaw town having a hotel perched up high on a rock as attracting attention is really kind of the opposite of what outlaws would want.

    I worked at a hotel built on top of a mountain for about 10 years. The tourists loved it. We all had cars by then though.

    Long-term memory is usually the last thing to go. Just saying.

    Oh yeah, there are a lot of hotels on mountaintops now, but they'd be a big "Look here" sign for lawmen looking for the bad guys.  And for those who do want to stay in a hotel on a mountain, there's one on the Big Island in Hawaii that blows all of the others away - The Volcano House, located on the rim of the Kilauea volcano.  I've been there a few times and there're very few views that can compare to looking down into the caldera when the Volcano is active. surprise   (Is it safe?  Well, it's only completely burned down once... )

    I'm not worried about either. Strange how it works though, and increasingly irrelvent how it works too, given modern technology.

    You are lucky! Alaska & Hawaii are two places I still need to visit.
