About this pattern

A tall Paris-style apartment building seen square on, the same left and right. A blue-gray mansard roof with three square dormer windows and two orange chimneys sits over three floors of pale cream stone, each with three tall windows of pale blue glass with a dark bar down the middle. A dark balcony rail with short uprights over a gold band runs across the front at the foot of the top floor and again at the foot of the first floor, and a plain gold band lies between.

33 stitches wide by 57 high: 1,738 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Straw 3822, Very Light Antique Blue 3752 and 6 more).
