LOCAL HISTORY PROGRAM
Researching the History of Your Home
House history classes are back! Check out the Hennepin County Library events calendar for classes in September at Northeast Library, October at East Lake Library, and November at Arvonne Fraser Library.
Learn about the historical resources at the library and across the county that will help you piece together a history of your Minneapolis house, neighborhood or property. Staff from Hennepin County Library's Special Collections will explain and demonstrate resources, emphasizing online resources in the Digital Collections that will allow you to jump-start your research from home – including permit records, maps, city directories, photos and more. This class is best suited for researching properties located in the city of Minneapolis, though some county-wide resources will be discussed.

Can we have some more architecture
Yeah!
Architecture has been my passion since highschool when my art teacher told us he had actually written several books on architecture, but all that got him was teaching a highschool class in a modified closet. He’s like my biggest influence ever!! :)

Alright we've finally reached the basement and backyard! This one might be extra long because there's a lot to cover
Tumblr media
(image credits to/designs made using the app HomeByMe from Dassault Systèmes SE)
I don't think you can tell from the picture but there's a retaining wall across the front due to the hill that butts up against the front of the house, as mentioned in the last installment. There wasn't a front yard in the last part bc I imagine they're kind of right on the road (sort of like the og full house) and the driveway wraps around one side and down from the road in front to the garage in the back (I had already added a lot of extra space and stuff to this level and the app was starting to get a little glitchy so I decided against expanding the area further lol)
So anyway, the basement is where a lot of the various practical function type rooms are; we've got the laundry room in the front, the kitchen and the dining room on the right, etc.
There's the garage, please ignore the car that's in there as there weren't a lot of options and I know that one little minivan (I think it was a minivan?) is definitely not going to cut it for a household of this size but they didn't have any actual vans and I didn't have space to include multiple cars, so just use your imagination and picture that there are two more cars parked outside along the driveway or smthn (I'm thinking Steve has his car but he mostly lets Nancy or Jonathan drive it since his vision is starting to get worse, Eddie has his van, and Argyle still has the surfer boy pizza van bc he got to keep his old job but got transferred to a new location. Don't question the logistics of that it's not important)
You're probably wondering what the hell a "dog room?" is. I couldn't think of a better name for it, but basically I decided they should have a dog and that they adopt a stray they find, and this is the room where they keep the dog stuff. He's got a bed and a crate and his bowls in there, and it's also where they keep his food and all the other dog-related supplies. There's a door giving direct access to the yard from this room, and a hook by the door to hold a leash. All that said, the dog doesn't end up actually being in this room all that much besides when he eats, since everyone takes turns letting him sleep in their rooms and he's pretty much glued to his humans' sides when they're home
Beside the dog room is the aforementioned laundry room. I haven't decided for sure yet whether each person is responsible for their own laundry or if there's a designated laundry-doer (as well as other assigned chore roles) so we'll have to come back to that later
Next is the kitchen, and I'm following the lead of what seems to be majority consensus in fandom that Steve is a good cook, so he's usually the one making family meals in here. Also, El frequently sneaks down into the basement for late night eggos, and Will- who had become familiar with this habit of hers during their time in Lenora- sometimes accompanies her (trust that this au will have some strong willel sibling vibes bc its one of my favorite underexplored tropes in canon)
The kitchen is connected to the dining room; they're not actually separate rooms there's just a sort of mostly-for-aesthetic-purposes divider between them. The dining room is where they sit when everyone shares a meal or when they have company over for dinner, otherwise people just sort of take their food wherever they want if they're eating alone. They eat dinner together most nights
There's a door from the dining room out onto a patio, which is fitting since the patio is pretty much just a smaller, outdoor dining room (that's a picnic table in the middle). They grill sometimes but also just go out there to eat like, pb&js and chips in the warm sunlight and fresh air. It's also a place to sit and dry off or hang out after a swim, and the lower end has a pool shed where they store stuff like floats and nets and salt bags
Past the pool shed is the actual pool, which is an emotionally weighted part of the setting for several characters. El doesn't like the pool very much and mostly avoids it at first, but eventually she grows to love swimming (this au is also going to involve a lot of reclamation of things formerly tied to trauma). Steve on the other hand has very mixed feelings about the pool which he mostly tries to ignore. Mike tends to get weirdly clingy when Will wants to swim and always insists on going with him
Next to the back door is the external stairs to the deck on the first floor, and right inside the door is another mud room (don't ask me why they need two I didn't know what else to put in the space ok? Besides maybe it's just a matter of preference, some people prefer coming in through the basement and some prefer coming in through the first floor). Further in is the living room, which is sort of a more formal/intimate gathering space in some ways compared to the den upstairs; the den is for friends and neighbors, the living room is for family, if that makes sense? Or just for more "serious" company or family meetings
Back out into the yard, there's the gardening/tool shed, where Argyle likes to build birdhouses and the original party likes to tinker with old electronics, and where they keep the supplies for the greenhouse right next to it. They started growing their own fruits and vegetables out of necessity at first, back when everyone was nervous to leave the house, but now its use is mostly split between what Steve grows for use in the kitchen and Eddie & Argyle's home-grown weed
I think that's just about everything. The next installments will most likely be about roommate pairings and more in-depth bedroom designs

I like looking at house plans.
I *really* like house plans with a "multi purpose room".
"Sure, we tell you *exactly* what purpose every other room serves. This one, though? This one has so many purposes. What purposes? Not telling. Figure it out for yourself, loser."

Onto the ground/first floor of the house (technically it's only the ground floor in the front bc the house is nestled up against the side of a hill, so the ground comes up to this floor in the front but doesn't in the back)
Tumblr media
(image credits to/designs made using the app HomeByMe from Dassault Systèmes SE)
The ground floor: mostly bedrooms and bathrooms, plus the foyer, den, and mud room
The bottom right corner bedroom is Jonathan & Argyle's, top right corner is Mike & Will's room, top left is Max & El, and bottom left is Nancy & Robin
The two bedrooms on each side share a bathroom between them (I wasn't going to have eight people sleeping on one floor and only give them one bathroom let's be real)
There's the front porch and the foyer, not much to say about either of those tbh except that the crew that lives here barely uses them; they're more likely to come in from the back, either through the deck or through the basement, since that's where they park the car and it's less formal (I guess this is somewhat based on how we do things at my house- coming in through the garage rather than the front door- but I feel like that's a pretty common experience)
The back deck can be accessed from inside or from a staircase attached to the outside of the house (you'll see that when I post the basement level), it's got a covered bench/swing (the rainbow stripe thing), and it's mostly used by the boys to take smoke breaks (by the boys of course I mean Jon Argyle Steve and Eddie, not the children lol) or by anybody coming in with muddy shoes so they don't track it up the inside stairs
The mud room is pretty much just a place to stop between outside and inside to sit down and take off your shoes/coat if necessary; it's also the landing between the basement-first floor stairs and the first floor-second floor stairs
The den is a more casual/informal (compared to the living room, which will be in the next post) place to gather and chill and have company, like if one of the kids was having friends over or if a neighbor came in to chat
