Three Story Downtown Building

We here at Argyle have a fondness for traditional and classic builds. We've dipped our toe into the modern design pool but always come back to what we know. Perhaps it was growing up when it was a thrill to walk a mile into the village and catch a bus to downtown. At eight or nine years old. Alone.

This is a design of buildings that I am well familiar with. A small shop or store on the first level, and the owner's living quarters above. Most store owners appeared to live modestly where the customers could see, and a little more extravagantly upstairs.

For that reason, the front is painted nicely as customers would expect, and very plain on the sides and rear where others would see. The metal stairway leading up to the 2nd story porch is rusty, of course, since painting costs both time and money.

Upstairs is another story. The second level is wide open because so many of our customers enjoy decorating, with the exception of a nice fireplace and a full kitchen. How you partition this is, of course, entirely your call. A wooden stairway with golden railings leads up.

The 3rd floor features three rooms; a vestibule, a bathroom with skylight, and a bedroom with fireplace and skylight. The skylights open, of course.

At the top of the stairs is a vestibule which could be used as a den or study. To the right is a full working bathroom. The shower has male and female animations and the water turns on by turning the handle. The doors to the cabinet open, of course. The toilet even flushes when you close the lid. The washer and dryer have opening doors. The medicine cabinet is functional. There are three button "Smart Control Wall plates" that control the brightness levels of high, medium, and low. Tinting the buttons will change the color of the lighting. You can set the mood.

All of the lighting, from the bathroom to the outdoor lights, are all controlled by our Smart Lighting Systems in a similar fashion.

The bedroom on this level features a Victorian style, very handsome fireplace. Like the one on the second floor, the fire lights with a touch. We're thinking it's gas. This is the only room with fine broadloom carpeting.

The vestibule and bedroom have dark walnut floor moldings to match the doors and windows.

The big painted brick sign on the left side of the building is for Uneeda Biscuit, sold only in packages for five cents. You might consider placing your own store's name here.

The footprint is about 20 meters wide and 26 meters deep (including the sidewalks), but it requires a 2048 or larger parcels due to it's heavy prim count (detail costs prims). We recommend a 4096 or larger parcel if rezzed on your own property. It will fit in a much smaller space if you landlord sells space by the prim.
