You're 100% correct. It's simple enough when there are other 'straight' buildings in the frame to work off of, but it's very tough if you're focusing on a chunk of the building. It's extra tough if you're camera isn't plumb and level - and or you don't use a tilt-shift lens. When you tilt up (or down) you get those terrible converging parallel lines and the sloped sides make it tough to correct the perspective for that perfect (parallel vertical lines) architectural look.
The good ting is that although the vertical columns are offset, they are perfectly vertical so you can at least use those as a reference point.
