I started out researching European row houses and town buildings. I ended up using this design as the first of many. Although it is a 3 story structure, it is small compared to many other town buildings, so I chose to make it a residence with a small store front in a small town. I gave it a front roof accent and didn't add any side windows so it can be placed adjacent to other buildings. The front has a large store window and a door. I will eventually add architectural accents to the exterior, by placing window shutters, window sills, and window and door frames before painting.
