LDD MOC: Gordon Hall

[Sir E Fullner]

Recently this summer, due to extreme boredom, I have been scratching in little histories in a notebook. One of these histories has to do with the Lord of Mouthvan, a peer to a Cornish village. Here is the home of his Lordship:

Gordon Hall

Gordon Hall was built in 1574 by Lord Cecil Gordon, 40th Lord Mouthvan. It was built over the abode of the 1st Lord Mouthvan, Corwin Gordius. Commissioned for the build was the famous architect Robert Adams. Adams designed the hall as a smaller stately home, with three bedrooms, a library, and a dining room. The first stone was laid down by Lord Mouthvan on 8 April, 1574. Building of the home went from April to December of 1574, and the home was dedicated on Christmas Day, 1574. Currently living in the home is Benjamin Charles Gordon-Stalwart, 51st Lord Mouthvan, Lady Anna Stanton-Gordon-Stalwart, and former Colonel Sir James Stanton.

One of the bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms are pretty much the same, with a bed, table, and lamp.

EDIT: Here is the link for the bigger pictures in the Brickshelf gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=532541

I don't have any views of the upper floor, because there is nothing in it! Please feel free to comment, and I would like a few questions, too.

Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:

I've added the link to the Brickshelf folder in the post. I hope it will work.

That's much better! There's some nice detailing in there. Do you have plans to brick it in real life?

Well...I have made a real-life version, but it looks more like a LEGOland 80's model. For the time being, this model will just remain on the computer.
