Arthur | The '''Reads' House''' is a yellow Cape Cod-esque house with a green roof and two dormers where [http://arthur.wikia.com/wiki/Arthur_Read Arthur] and his sisters, [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] and [[Kate Read|Kate]], and parents [[Jane Read|Jane]] and [[David Read|David]] reside, their pet dog [[Pal]], and formerly [[Spanky]] (only from ''[[So Long, Spanky]]''). | ||
D.W. and Kate both share a | Its address is 562 Main Street according to ''[[The Last of Mary Moo Cow]]'''', '''''but 1125 Main according to''''' ''''[[Arthur's Faraway Friend]].'' and it is located in Northwest [[Elwood City]]. | ||
==Description== | |||
Jane and David both share a | The Read's house has a kitchen, living room, a bathroom, three bedrooms, a laundry room in the basement, a dining room, and an attic. Arthur has his room to himself and it has green walls, wooden floor, cabinets, his bed, many posters including a ''[[Bionic Bunny]]'' poster, books, and ''Bionic Bunny'' merchandise, and its dormer window is on the right side of the house, and his room is also the smallest bedroom in the house and only close to the front of the house. D.W. and Kate both share a room and it has pink walls, purple wall something (what do you call these?), orange carpeting (in the books, their room had wooden floor), toys and dolls, ''[[Mary Moo Cow]]'' merchandise, D.W.'s bed, Kate's crib, a diaper-changing table for Kate, and its dormer window is on the left side of the house, and their room is also the largest bedroom in the house and also has a window that faces the backyard. Jane and David both share a room, the master bedroom, which is at the back of the house upstairs. The inside of the house has gone through various changes throughout the books: the stairs were originally straight until the book ''[[Arthur's Baby (book)|Arthur's Baby]]'' changed the stairs to winder stairs. The stairs are white in the cartoon show, but were usually brown in the books. Pal loves to sleep with Arthur and dislikes the garage. There are two living rooms: the one below D.W. and Kate's room has an [[Elbozonic]] TV on a wooden surface, a green striped sofa, lounge chairs, a standing lamp, a stereo, and a computer cabinet with a computer; and the one below Arthur's room has a brown upright piano, a purple sofa, more lounge chairs, and a fireplace. There was another TV set that is green and sits on a cart in the living room below Arthur's room only in some episodes of the first season, but has never been shown again since. Each living room originally had one window at the front end of the house, but the cartoon and later books gave each living room two windows on the front end of the house. In the kitchen and dining room, Arthur, D.W., and their parents sit on chairs at the table, and Kate sits in her highchair. The attic is a large wooden room right under the roof and above the second floor, and it is full of cargo and is accessible by the ladder. The laundry room has a conventional washing machine and an electric clothes dryer. David's catering business is in the garage in kitchen-style area. | ||

== | ==Computers== | ||
The Read family has had two computers in the following seasons. Their first computer was a gray compact case with the monitor mounted on it, although it was later slightly redesigned to have a CD drive. Their current one is a tower with the monitor with integrated audio speakers next to it. It was originally black, then changed to white in the ninth season, and by the tenth season, it is currently teal. Their computers have always had a CRT monitor. | |||

The Read family | |||
The Read family owns two vehicles: a purple 5-door [[Reads' Car|station wagon]] (driven by both David and Jane) that they mainly drive to take the family places and a [[David's Catering Van|catering van]] (driven only by David) with a symbol of a pot with a face and a chef's hat that David drives to deliver desserts to many customers. The station wagon is usually parked on the driveway while the van is always parked in the garage where David's catering business is run. Arthur's bike is green. D.W. had a tricycle, which she then switched to riding on a dark pink bicycle with removable additional wheels in ''[[D.W. Rides Again]]''. | |||
