Lookee what I (with the help of another victorian house/architecture fan) found....
Design #4-E, "Modern Dwellings" by George F. Barber
Not many people know that Allison's house in Closetspace is actually a picture I took in 1997, the J T Jones House in Decatur, Alabama. I took the pic well before I ever decided on a house for Allison and thought it was big enough to work for what I needed. Since then, I've had problems with the inside AND the outside.
For the outside shot, I only ever had the front view of the house. A Huntsville fan fixed that for me by taking multiple shots of the house form several angles. Although they don't match the season my pic was taken in, I've used a few to get different shots than just the one picture.
But the inside - that's been a complete guess. I've tried to make the inside look like it should match the outside, and have specific "Areas" (Carrie's hallway, 2nd floor loft, stairway to the 2nd floor) and floors I've used (I thought it was three stories - Allison had the topmost floor, Carrie the whole second floor, and the bottome was a combined living area). Turns out I was way wrong. First, there is no third floor...maybe Allison coverted an attic into a third floor. Secondly - wow - that house is a lot bigger than I thought...Carrie didn't just get her own apartment, she got a whole four room house that just happens to be Floor #2.
Anyways, now with the plans, I can make the interior house match the exterior (and in fact, some of the interior I've drawn can be jury rigged to match parts of the house I've built.
THRIDLY...I have plans for the house. Concievably, I could rebuild it in something - Lightwave, Second Life or The Sims, and use the 3D creation to make background plates for the comics.
Where to begin. :D
