My apartment building.
Where I live. My apartment is the one in the upper right of the front of the building, with the open windows. I chose this building because of the way the windows swing out from the side. The way to open them is you turn a crank.

An inside view looking out to the northwest. The wing wall needs to be finished and the crank handles for the awning windows were all missing so will have to be ordered from the kit supplier. We haven't decided for sure yet just how we will finish the interior floor but are leaning toward carpet.
