That's quite right and standard for this era. I checked your picture and it fits the building. Must be about 26 feet high (not counting the third storey).

The easiest way is to calculate by counting brick rows. 3 bricks piled up equal about 8 inches, they are also 8" in length. Bricks on the third storey are easy to distinguish for this purpose. If you have access to good pictures (via Google Street View), you will be able to measure precisely every details, windows, door, etc...

Good luck
