DW's childhood house3


mesp2k

This is a photo of the house right after it was constructed in 1925 for a Doctor.

My father-in-law bought it in 1960.

It burned down around 1970 & a more modern version was (re)build 1970-71.

We've been digging through old papers & found: material lists & prices, utilities blue print map, & a land purchase agreement, 3-1/2 acres $1500 !!!

Where was this house located? It looks like one of the larger well-built homes down the Jersey shore.

Close guess! Its on the south shore of westerly, RI.

What a wonderful project! Congratulations on finding these things too. This image will be perfect for a picture inside the dollhouse!

That thing REEKS of dollhouse! Please...pictures as you go! Do I understand correctly that you are building this? My spring fling is modeled after a cabin I lived in for a few years and the experience of creating it was amazing. I can see this project being the experience of a lifetime.

Is your cabin in your in the gallery?

Yes I'm building the house from scratch.

And yes I think it will mean a lot to my DW & her 3 sisters.

I might let them do the decorating tho. :)

Oh thanks all :)
The shell should go together quickly & easily because I'll be using a CNC machine to cut everything out. Once I finish the 3D drawings that is!!
