The Malcom Willey House ("Gardenwall" is located in Minneapolis, MN and was built in 1934.  The home is 1,200 sq ft in size and has two bedrooms, a study and a living/dining room and kitchen.  The house is on a small 3x5 lot reflecting it's long/narrow style.  There is a large lawn space off the terrace where you can add a pool or whatever else you want.  The home was abandoned for several years and trashed by vandals.  A couple bought the home 2002 and plan to complete a restoration started in 1995.  I call this a "Usonian" but some text views it as a "bridge home" between the prairie style and the usonian style.  My version of the house has a couple of differences from the real house but I've tried to stay as accurate as I can.  First everything is slightly enlarged just to make it easier to move a sim around in it.  The original house (by looking at pictures) seems a bit crowded.  Second I've added a second bathroom off the master bedroom.  Third I have a basement (don't believe there is one in the original) and a stairway off the living room against the wall.  The house is fully furnished, lighted and landscaped.  Visit "www.thewilleyhouse.com" for details on this house and see some of the pictures I used to help create this lot.  I hope you enjoy it.  ErikMesa.
