History and Trivia

Built as an office building for a prestigious law firm in the early 1900’s, Cedar Court is a majestic building that was once famous for its marble floors and for having the first fully electric elevator system in Garland.

After being converted to apartments in the early 50’s, the building went through a series of changes in structure and ownership until it hit a period of financial distress in the 90’s where building management stripped and sold anything not nailed down to cover maintenance costs.

Since then it has fallen into disrepair and while surrounded by other beautiful buildings from the era, it remains a shell of its former self.

Cedar Court was the first apartment option available to choose in Moonlight in Garland.

You follow him through the lift to your new apartment where Cecile is waiting. She welcomes you warmly and playfully admonishes Leon’s bad mood. Ryan called her rather than Léon about your arrival because didn’t want to deal with grump Leon.

Objective

Learn about the problems in your building and scrub the floor.

Spoilers

Summary
You arrive at Cedar Court’s lobby sometime after your first week in town. You overhear Cecile and Léon arguing in the building manager office. Cecile wants Léon to find a way to fix the building but Léon insists there’s no money to do so.

Cecile notices you and explains that the council is frustrated by the deteriorating condition of the building and is threatening to take away its heritage status. Léon explains that there’s no money to fix anything and property developers are just waiting for it to be knocked down so they can build another hotel on the land.

You and Cecile decide that maybe if you make some small improvements, the council will give you some more leeway with the other issues. Léon sulks in the office.

You both remove the rug in the lobby and scrub the floor of dirt to reveal the beautiful marble art-deco tiling beneath it. Léon previously gave up cleaning because residents keep tracking in dirt.

Happy with the progress, Cecile leaves to call the council. Léon seems vaguely interested and tells you that you better not disappoint his wife because he’s going to hear about it all week now.

PART 1 - COUNCIL CONFRONTATION

Objective

Looks like the Garland City Council is pressuring Leon to pack it in!

Spoilers

Summary
You arrive at Cedar Court Lobby and hear Léon arguing with a council worker.
The council worker is saying that Cedar Court no longer deserves it’s heritage status because the previous management sold off all the marble in the lifts, the art deco furniture and copper detailing. Unless these details are replaced, there is no heritage value and the building can be sold to Stephen the developer. Stephen isn’t a bad guy but he’s really only focused on making a profit rather than community benefit.The council worker gives Léon a deadline to replace the items and leaves.
Léon is dejected and you go to talk to him. There’s no way the building can afford to replace all those items. I guess it’s up to you!
