Description
The Mattick Towers are in surprisingly-good condition, despite having been derelict over time. The first sixteen floors are mere shells and remain empty, the furniture and decor having long-been relocated to the upper floors for a plethora of reasons; both strategic and personal. Unfortunately, the elevators have been deemed unusable and hazardous to the safety of others after the elevator shaft cables snapped in 2006, sending the cars plummeting to the ground. This resulted in the forced use of the network of stairs to navigate through the building.
The basement of the building has been retrofitted with a generator that is usually powered-down due to negligence of refueling.
The remaining sixteen floors of the Mattick Towers consist of condominium units claimed by survivors and peaceful zombies. Typically, each floor has a dozen units, some of them larger than others. All of the units have their own kitchen, dining room, living room, and in most cases, more than one bathroom and bedroom with adjacent exterior decks. Each unit in these upper sixteen floors have, for the most part, been redecorated using all of the furniture from the lower floors and artwork scavenged from museums in the city. A majority of the units are usually messy, the neatness of the unit on the bottom of the tenants' list of priorities, despite neatness being mentioned in recent tenant meetings. The plumbing system has been altered to lead down from the water tower and water-catches on the roof and through the occupied units below; however most tenants have found it easier to use water they collect from their own water-catches on their exterior decks.
Repairs have been made to the interior of the building, making it as secure as can be given the danger from outside. Multitudes of Free-running lanes are accessible throughout the building and lead to the nearby St. John's Hospital, to the Robertson Walk Police Department, as well as to Kippins Row Fire Station nearby. In addition, a Free-Running lane runs through the Dodimead Bank and into The Zeally Arms which is a favorite watering hole among the locals. To make the environment seem even more comforting and livable, there have been recent attempts in gardening and tending to Hewlet Park as many survivors and zombies alike long for the smell of blooming trees and flowers in the Spring and the shade under a leafy tree; a memory that is among many that is missed.
