Hello Russ!
Here I was, surfing the net casually, seeking specific informations regarding 221b Baker Street, when I came across your website and was practically fed all the details I was looking for. Hah! I was browsing through your notes, my Sherlock Holmes novels at hand, checking out every info like a kid would shake his presents on Christmas morning. Thank you sooo much for this!
I had one last question that remained unanswered, however. Was it mentionned anywhere, or is it possible to figure out, what were the measurements of 221b Baker Street? If not mentionned directly in the books, perhaps the information can be calculated based on other measurements that would have been given (a desk, a table, anything present within the flat)?
Thank you for your time, as well as for the spectatular representation you've made of the consulting detective's apartment.
Admin reply: Thank you for your kind words. The only reference to room size I can recall is in The Adventure of the Priory School: "And yet his first action, when the door had closed behind him, was to stagger against the table, whence he slipped down upon the floor, and there was that majestic figure prostrate and insensible upon our bearskin hearth-rug." This seems to imply that the door and table and hearth rug (and fireplace) were not far from each other. That's the best I can recall!
