These houses were built during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries using lumber from the vast old-growth Southern pine forests, which made them very durable. Many still standing today have been occupied for over one hundred years. The house stands on piers and features a porticoed front porch with highly detailed railings, separate stair treads and stringers, double-hung windows with glazing, and an outhouse. Assembly time including painting is two to four hours. They will be sold individually or in sets of three, and will be available in mid-October.
Price is to be announced.
The model is based on the former Union Station in Shreveport, Louisiana. Built in the late 1890's, it was constructed of brick and originally featured a turreted entryway and a tall spired tower. Our model is based on the modernized version. The base is also notched for exact positioning of subassemblies. The kit will include self-adhesive brick veneer and trim pieces which are applied over the substructure, plus detailed window and door inserts.
