madtex1967 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Here is an interesting one. It look like it if from Housework's Townsend Towers plan, but modified for a larger house. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144100280087?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3Dcacfae71e5934c10a793af7df2bdf48f%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D144100280087%26itm%3D144100280087%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2060778%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fov Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 "This was originally purchased in 1946 for my mother as a 3-story Victorian style home." Really? Looks like a Thornhill without the roof. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284357982083?hash=item42350e7783:g:r4kAAOSwk8lg4Hj0 On 7/7/2021 at 7:38 AM, madtex1967 said: Here is an interesting one.

I'm not sure about the Townsend Towers, though. The tower roof on that one has an overhang. I do think I've seen this house before, but I can't place it.

Now that I look at it, it has dawned on me what house this is! It is from Doll Domiciles' Second Empire Victorian Plans. I have a set of them.

But it is lovely and would easily sell for several thousand if the right audience of buyers is located, but the market isn't there for tens of thousands. But I do love it.

Sorry, Matt, but you deserve a shout-out for this amazing job. Thank you so much Kells!! I wish I spent more time on my miniatures. I so enjoy doing them. I am concentrating on the RGT half scale First Lady. It is fun and a challenge (I feel I am not as handy in half scale and 1"). On the Pierce, I was supposed to pick it up this weekend, but life got in the way. I want to try this week one evening after work. Kathy & Holly - that was such a nice day. It was good to meet you all and husbands. It was a nice lunch as well. I did sell the Garfield when I moved into our home. I did keep some of the expensive gingerbread and the staircase off the house. I sold for sooooooooooooo much less than I had invested. But that is why it is a hobby!

I checked back to see if was still available and contact the owner to pick up this week. She doubled the price! Ummm . . . no, I really don't need it. Even at $50, its a bargain. But gets me she would double the asking price when someone gets interested in it. Lost sale at this point. BTW, it has been listed for 2 months.
