I've got things to do today, but I'll be back later tomorrow with some details, but basically I was creating a Manor House for a campaign and having trouble coming up with rooms to fill it with.

I did some Wikifying and got some ideas, but it was quite frustrating. So I figured I'd start a thread about it.

Manor - "small" private estate. Some guest quarters, and servant quarters but mostly a private home.

Palace - Large private estate, with some government rooms built in (throne room?)

Castle - Full of subcomplexes and other odd rooms. HUGE!

If the interest is held to be sufficiently important, or illegal, there might be a separate library in connection to it.
