The Queen Anne - 1894 , Finished an lit

[Eshaver]

Welp , the former private residence JEB Stuart would have visited is finally finished .  The Civil War general about Stuart is rumored to be a fact . See, this house was built decades before the Church, St James Episcopal was built . The church now joins the NOW Parrish house via a breezeway. The model was built at the request of several who were connected to a Coffee house that operated in the basement 1967- 1983 . I took several additions out and "Back dated the building as it appeared in 1970 . The model will become a part of the Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens miniatures and Holiday light showing in Richmond Virginia opening November 23rd this year.

Amazingly realistic. Did you have full access to the house for measuring and photography or possibly to some original blueprints? This has got to huge and difficult to transport. Does it come apart to be moved? Thanks for sharing your considerable talent with us.
