Stan Hywet Hall - Re-Imagined?

Stan Hywet Hall is a 65000 sq foot Tudor Revival Mansion in Akron Ohio. Formerly the home of F.A. Seiberling (cofounder of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company), the home is now a museum and educational center featuring the manor house itself, its carriage house (where the original idea for AA was formed) and several other outbuildings. I was granted access to the original blueprints of the home, and I am working to construct a model of the home. It will be in a somewhat different style, more of a Grand Lodge / Pacific Northwest Rustic / Parkitecture style.

A failure of a 3rd party add-on caused the loss of the entire file that I had so far, so I restarted.  Im now at the point of extruding the foundation walls and installing the floors for the basement which are at several different elevations
