Peek through the window and see this house's origins...an old fruit crate out of Exeter, California.

I took the roof off and found more bits of fruit crate labels stuck to the rafters. So I went on a long search, and found that this house is made from two different fruit crates. One was a Western Sky emperor grape crate, and the other was a Big Sky Bartlett pear crate, both out of 1940s California. So that backs up my gut feeling about this being a 1940s house. I bought intact copies of both labels just for fun, as they were only a few dollars each. :)
