Schoolhouse / Country Store
Updated

Log cabin one-room schoolhouse. This is only about 27" long but it weighs a ton! I didn't build it, a fellow miniaturist gave it to me before he died. A good friend and a great loss.
I'd always admired it. It needs work but it is so well built I think it's worth saving. I don't know that I want to keep it as a schoolhouse. These are older pictures and I hate to say it, but the cat got to those dolls and, well, they were pretty much mauled to death. And those cute little desks ended up in a lot of splintered pieces.
Mom had two complete Franklin Mint American Country Stores unopened and still in original boxes (WHY?!?). I think I'll use them to make this into an old-fashioned general store.

1879 Avery House in Fort Collins, CO.
My mom had the shell for this house custom made but I only found the windows for the dormers. No idea how she was planning to make those curved windows on the ground floor. This one is going to put my paperclay skills to the test!!

My Mom's Childhood Home

This is one of those "Someday I'll get to that" houses. A long time ago my mom commissioned a replica of her childhood home in Denver.
Since it was right in front of me while searching for something else, I figured I'd snap a few pics of the dusty old thing. Also some screen grabs from Google Street View to show the actual house.
The 1/12th version is two rooms deep, front- and rear-opening, recreating the actual floor plan including the basement. The rear Ell addition was omitted.

Does anyone recognize this house? It's built from 3" high milled-in clapboard strips of wood that are almost 3/4" thick. I think it might be an old Batrie kit? I'll try to post pics as I go along.
I've nearly thrown this house out a number of times but you know how some houses speak to you? I hate to anthropomorphize a dollhouse but I swear this one whimpers, "Please save me."

NOT ONE OF MY DOLLHOUSES! Not claiming ownership or creation of this one! I can no longer find a link so I'm posting pictures for others to see and enjoy. I have a front-opening Hofco Federal Mansard I had once overly-ambitiously thought to do up like this one. Never gonna happen, but the pics are still nice to look at!
