Hours? Everything below one day is not even worth the work... ;-)

Seriously, i think a mesh that's accurate enough for a realistic render
would not be that fast either. Just have a look at the reference
photographs...

One thing about your render: I think the red carpet should be removed, it
makes the whole front part look very red.

How about bump mapping of the brick structures like in some of the other
renders?
