I've been
terribly bogged down with work and school these past months. I know I've said in the past that I had some lots to upload, but I've decided to compile this into one big project: A Field Guide to American Architecture. I'm going to trace architectural heritage back to pre-Colonial/Colonial periods, the Victorian era, Romantic revivals, Neo-Classical, Art Moderne, and Modern. This will cover an expanse of time from roughly the late 1600s to the latter end of the 20th century. Each upload will consist of a quintessential example of a style, which will may include, but not be limited to:
-Saltbox/Cape Cod
-Medieval
-Georgian
-Adamesque
-Federal
-French Colonial
-Spanish Colonial
-Monterey
-Second Empire
-Italianate
-Stick/Eastlake
-Queen Anne
-Folk Victorian
-Gothic Revival
-Tudor/Tudor Revival
-Colonial/Greek Revival
-Neo-Classical
-Beaux Arts
-Mission
-Craftsman
-Art Deco
-Contemporary
-Modernistic
This is going to be a huge undertaking, and I've decided to re-vamp the Spencer Mansion, because the old version I have is absolutely dreadful. I'm also trying to figure out why it is that some do not get a complete file when downloading. Be patient with me, and we'll see what happens!
Now if only
phoenix_phaerie would upload some of her Modern Georgian Manor Build Set...
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll see it soon, phaerie! The anticipation is killing me!
