This is a dorm based on a house built in late Victorian style (ca. 1890) based on those in the University Heights neighbourhood in Cincinnati, Ohio. Many houses in this neighbourhood have painted brick walls with elabourate Victorian doors, windows, and fireplaces. (The house, also called "St. Clair," is uploaded here under Residential .) After the house was sold, its new owner decided it could be converted to dorms. He installed a very ugly fire escape in the back and carved the bedrooms up into dorm rooms and knocked out the wall between the kitchen and dining room.

In an attempt to make this as user-friendly as possible, the dorm contains mostly Maxis content except for those very few pieces we were unable to live without: the brick walls by Spidergirl, Inge Jones' open shower, and Hysterical Paroxysm's marvellous Arts & Crafts carpets.

This was extensively playtested in University with two Sims all the way through their Uni career. The biggest issue was a tendency for Sims to create a backlog on the stair landing on the ground floor. The ugly fire escape was installed both for verisimilitude and to alleviate that problem.
