Guy Gadois Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I mistakenly posted photos of this house on the introduction forum, now deleted. It is an ancient German house built from plans from an 1876 German magazine. There is no scale called out but guessing at the height of doors it is about 1:20. I don't know if this was modeled after an actual house or just a collection of architectural cliches. Cheers, Gadois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyBoling Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 That's wonderful! Thanks for posting the pictures! How did you happen to find the old German magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Gadois Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 To MissyBoling, Thank you for your comments! Rick's scroll saw site has rather rough plans copied from old magazines. I have no idea where he obtained them. A link to his site: http://www.scrollsaws.com/ Cheers, Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susang Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 An example of this dollhouse used to be at the Mary Merritt Museum and was sold at auction about seven years ago, so there are definitely other houses out there! Yours is in nicer shape than that one was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Gadois Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 To susang, Thank you for the response to my posting. However, this structure is not a "dollhouse". It is a scale model of a certain real or imaginary building. There are no provisions for using it as a dollhouse. The ground floor entrance swings open so the model may be used as a wall cabinet.
