An American made Japanese house

That's sort of backwards from what we are used to. But here is a cute little plaster model of a Japanese house made by a WPA craftsman in the 1930s. I am sharing it for inspiration for those who create their own putz houses and share the pics here. I don't own any WPA houses but have one replica created for me by Karl Fey several years ago. So many types of structures were created in this medium and I can't imagine many have survived to now. Enjoy.

I am adding the photo from the ebay ad, because they've started taking the photos down after the items are sold and I think it's worth keeping some record of this:
