    It is a very pretty room. You should be proud of all of your hard work.

    I think it could be a Strombecker ......This site is awesome for finding antique houses.....http://www.mckendry.net/DOLLHOUSES/1890s.htm Thanks for sharing the pictures. https://www.blurb.com/b/10335570-strombecker-dollhouses-and-furniture-1931-1961

    Sounds like an adventure to me. Do you some pictures of what the main structure pieces are made of? We could narrow it down for you.

    Have fun! It was a free house, and since you don't know if all of the pieces are there, just have fun with it. Now, If you want it to be like the picture, it will definitely be more than a weekend affair. Here is a blog that may help you https://moreminis.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-fairfield-dollhouse-half-scale-blog.html

    Use the Aileen's turbo tacky glue and a a couple dots of hot glue to temporarily hold until the tacky glue dries completely. Sometimes you just have to get creative with clamps, clothespins etc.....It won't be done in one day. You will need to let sections dry.

    Pay a visit to the Micro Mark site....great place for hobby tools.

    Both of those antique lights look like fire hazards! Maybe they are so antique that they originally were gas lamps!

    I have seen some Loren Korff houses, but the one model I have seen does not resemble this one.....I would suggest you do a search with that name. https://herber.us/steve/miniatures/korff_miniatures/

    I like your new avatar! You look very dapper indeed!

    It does look like particle board....I think If you use a good primer like Zinser or Kilz you would get a smooth finish.

    You probably should open the kit and take a look at the wood. If you don't want it, you shouldn't sell it without advising the buyer of its condition. Hopefully there is a picture of the house on the instructions. Celerity were nice kits with great wood. https://celerityminiaturehomes.com/product/mch1801a-lady-kathleen-victorian/

    Sometimes the slot is the issue. You can add length to it by slicing the end of the slot with an X-acto knife. Then sand it.

    Henry Gold Houses

    Images added to a gallery album owned by Mid-life madness in Members' Gallery

    I picked up this brochure at the 2021 Good Sam showcase of Miniatures. I was hoping he had a website, but I found nothing. Anyway, I thought this might be of interest to some of our members .

    My husband has been in the woodworking profession for over 25 years and is allergic to saw dust.......Red itchy eyes, excessive sneezing. It hasn't gone on to irritate his lungs yet. Maybe you should have someone scrape off the wood shingles and apply the new ones.....Asphalt shingles are another option. https://www.miniaturemarketplace.com/BUILDING-SUPPLIES/SHINGLES-ROOF-MATERIALS/ASPHALT-SHINGLES
