Midatlantic Edwardian Pack 3
I know what you’re thinking – but Dudemeister, there are no other "Midatlantic Edwardian" Packs : ( And right(ish) you are, fellow Skyliner! However, this is due to my own ninnyhammering. The Midatlantic "Victorian" Packs that I had previously released were actually misnomers – those buildings were likelier built between 1895-1916ish, which corresponds more appropriately to the reign of King Edward VII (plus six years in each direction). My bad!!
Description
A set of 3 Progressive-Era buildings based on stock commonly found throughout Pittsburgh and nearby river towns. This will be the second-last Pittsburgh based home set I will be doing in the series. This set features the models in a 1×2 lot (or 1×1 in the case of the flat roofer) with no porch pathway/driveway (except the flat roofer) for maximum placement flexibility. If you’re looking for a fully-decorated, large lot with paths, stay tuned for a secret project coming to you from Mr. Hockenheim in the near future….
- First up is a semi-Foursquare. These are a common sight throughout the hills of the Allegheny. It more resembles a standard hip-roofed box, with a gable-fronted dormer. Based on several found in Pittsburgh:
- Then, we see the humble detached flat-roof rowhouse. It is standalone in its present form, but with the advantages provided by MoveIt! (TM), anyone can arrange them into common-wall alignments for semi-detached or full out rows! I guess you could alternately use the standalone as an Old West saloon storefront if you’d like. The brick color variations provided here include the standard sooty red/browns, but also a lovely Cream City Brick imported from the Menomonee Valley of Wisconsin. The squats themselves are loosely based on many throughout the Pitt, especially survivors in the Hill Districts:
- Last up is the esteemed Hulley House. These guys hail from a famous vint, all being developed as everyman housing by the developer E.B. Hulley between 1915 and 1929, with little variation (besides subsequent modifications and the dormer) between the units. A common sight throughout the city, it could be argued that the Hulley house is the most emblematic of the Pre-WWII Pittsburgh style. These beauties are a smidge taller than the bungalow from set 2, enabling a more-complete third floor. See Morningside Ave in East Liberty for some of many examples:
Recommended Assets
Several Pdelmo assests (Regular Bush tiny, green), Beardmonkey assets (Wooden Fence 01 4m & 8m), SKF assets (concrete paths) and vanilla assets (benches, ac, pipes, etc) were used to decorate the lots, but not having these other assets will do no harm.
I should also note that many of my assets share textures, so if you have Loading Screen Mod, you’ll see some decent load time savings.
