This style of house has shown up two different times on Ebay. Each time it showed up I scrutinized the photos because it just didn't look right. There were just to many things wrong with them. Because of that I said, emphatically, that they were original houses that had been messed with. To my utter surprise I was gifted this house. It is all original and came this way. (Probably the tree isn't correct but I'll leave it on until I see another original). I learn something new everyday. Who knew? I'll include a picture of the one that we're all familiar with.
