About This File
Elmwood Apartments is a sunny Victorian apartment building at the corner of Barrington and South Streets in Halifax, NS, Canada. Built in 1890, Elmwood started out as a hotel and originally featured a wrap-around porch and grand entrance on South Street. Its location overlooking Cornwallis Park within easy walking distance of the train station and waterfront made it a prime spot for a hotel in the early 20th century. At some point over the years, the hotel went out of business and the building was converted into apartments. Elmwood is a survivor, dodging fires, modernist vandals and Hurricane Juan (tore the roof off). It's one of only a few large multi-unit wooden buildings that have survived in Halifax to the present day. A lot of the Victorian charm still remains inside including mouldings, wood floors, fireplaces, high ceilings and banisters. I'm particularly attached to Elmwood because I lived in apartment 4 for 11 months (2nd floor front, left corner). The only reason I moved is I bought my own house. Best apartment though that I ever had so I made sure to leave the light on in SimCity in my old unit 
My version of Elmwood is a very close, but not perfect, replica of the real building. The real building is yellow, but I have included an additional three colour variations (dark blue, green and brown) and left and right corner versions of each model for variety. Elmwood grows on a 3x2 corner lot on medium and high density on the New York and Chicago tilesets. It provides housing for 181 R$$. Four of my usual dependencies, BSC Essentials (mandatory), BSC Texture Pack Cycledogg Vol 1 (mandatory), BSC Mega Props CP Vol01 (trees, cars, flowers) and BSC Mega Props - SG Vol 01 (garbage cans).
