Mansion Reference Photos

[BlackThief]

Just came across this site:

http://131.123.204.224/HABS/2001/

 

there are hundrets of photos of a victorian mansion (the first ones aren't interesting though - scroll down till the library and stairs photos)

Shame about the flash reflection on some of them, but others are nice.

Nice find!

THat's defintely a great resource for mappers and modelers. It's exactly what's needed really. IF we had that sort of detailed photo resource for other buildeings like castles and manors it would be great.

It's a ptiy you don't actually get a feel for the layout of the building though, you can't see the wood for the trees (at least in the photos I looked at)

Really, that would be godsend. I'm sure this stuff can be inspirational and useful though. I sure wish I could find a freaking floorplan (or at least detailed photo-walkthrough) type of site. Been searching for what seems like forever, and the only thing other than shitty low resolution scans of some dweeb's vacation in Ireland, are graph paper drawings of hardcore D&D castle "designs." Sigh.

Hmm, my father is an architect, I could ask him if there's some sort of floorplan resource place.

Thank you, I'd almost kill for it.

 

Hey, ask him to join!

Sweet. Btw I asked my father about finding floorplans, but he usually just designs stuff from scratch or rehabs more modern stuff, so he didn't have too helpful suggestions other than check the library, in the architecture or history of architecture sections. Looks like Atti found a good online reference though.
