In RL and SL I teach historic preservation classes. I am hoping to start a SL Register of Historic Places to recognize significant builds and RL replicas. Wanted you builders to know about a great source for existing public domain designs: the Historic American Building Survey and the Historic American Engineering Record. both these National Park Service programs are accessible on-line from the Library of Congress and include some 350,000 high-res architectural plans and drawings as well as photographs, descriptions, etc. to browse the collection go to: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/habs_haer/as a youngster in SL (Dec 07) I would appreciate any suggestions, advice, and let me know if any of you do a build from HABS/HAER. }  > |

An interesting resource. Thank you. The Library of Congress also has plans for many buildings that are on the National Register of Historic Places. I recently built the "Old Queens College" building for Rutgers University, based on a set of LoC plans that were drafted in 1975, when the site was added to the Registry. It's in the RUCE 2 sim, and is one of five major buildings from that historic site that I am recreating for them.  The second building on that site is Kirkpatrick Chapel, which I am still building.
