Howard, I was going to say "stunning," but Will beat me to it.

Will "Very nice" do?

I second everyone's comments on this house. I just love the primary colors. It is just wonderful.

Check out Karl Fey's version, a little over halfway down the page: https://cardboardchristmas.com/papateds/forsale.html

Oh how I miss Karl Fey. His creations were wonderful and for sale!

Paul...Thanks for posting that link to some of the houses Karl built...I knew I had seen his version somewhere...

DCrowe...I too hope Karl will "get back in the game"!...he is the only person I know who had developed a real knack for mass producing houses!...he also did some beautiful custom work...I believe you have some of his creations...I have only seen one of his houses in person...it was a railroad station...a real little gem!...

Howard,
Yes, I am fortunate to have several Karl Fey creations. I think two custom built and several from his catalogs. I still have the wonderful illustrated catalog he did once also. I hope to excavate down to the boxes these are stored in and get pics sometime this fall.
