Looking for a slum tenement building map or floorplan

Hi,

As the title of the thread says, I'm looking for a map showing a large two, three or four storey slum tenement building. Any suggestions? I've got all the 3.x issues of Dungeon and Pathfinder or is there something suitable online?

Thanks

Thanks grumpy, those do look usefull.

The Sellswords map is really nice crisp and clean, though far too open and clutter free for a slum tenement building. Every square in such a building should be choked with detritus the impoverished have gathered in hopes of reusing or in their wildest dreams, selling for a few copper. Poorly made beds should be gobbling up combat real estate, ready to collapse the moment someone tries to stand and fight on one of them.
 

You might want to do a search for Roman Insulae, the shockingly modern-looking, 3-5 story apartment buildings that made up most of ancient Rome.

Any good library should have books on ancient architecture or art that would have insulae floor plans. Generally there were shops on the ground floor, and the upstairs apartments were "railroad" style - connected square rooms with no hallways. Each floor above the ground was usually identical (made them cheaper to build). There were usually no cooking facilities. (Everybody ate out, just like in New York!)
