Designed in 1908 the Robie House was constructed for Frederick Robie and his family.  The house is located on what is now the campus of the University of Chicago.  The Robie House is a National Historic Landmark and is renown as the greatest example prairie architecture.  This version of the house has a fairly accurate floorplan although the limit of 5x5 size (width) does make it a little shorter then the real thing.  My version of the house has a couple of minor modifications although I've tried to be as accurate as possible without using any custom content.  First on the ground floor there are a couple rooms next to the garage that back in the day were the "coal bin" and "furnace room".  Now they're empty.  At the end of the billards room I've put a secret bookcase door which in the real house was actually a vault.  The second floor contains a large living room and dining room as the actual house does.  The guest room I've made into a den and the kitchen is actually one large room in my house whereas in the real house there was a serving pantry and smaller outrooms.  The servants lounge I've turned into a big TV room and the two servant bedrooms over the garage are there with a bathroom as in the real house.  The third floor features three bedrooms and two bathrooms as the real house does.  I used a couple of cheats to make the lot (snapobjects false and moveobjects on) which allowed me to do some neat things like putting the light globes in the living room (see interior picture) as in the real house.  This version has no custom content and is fully decorated and lighted.  I hope you enjoy it.  ErikMesa.
