Howard has the Mansard roof down pat.  This is the house of a former actor from the Civil War era, turned into a Board of Education office and allowed to deteriorate and now is senior living

 

Henry.............what a magnificent structure! And Marc, nice work on the station and thanks for good words.

This house will most likely wind up as my next structure, or something close as I love this period of architecture.

Marc - I have enjoyed seeing pictures of your work very much. Would it be asking too much if you give us an update on your wonderfuly layout?

Happy times!

I own the book of Mister Zane from years now and read it often.

I always liked the depots of his layout which are for the most his own design with no particular prototype version.

From the beginning , I know I need one on my Maclau River layout in N scale.

I simply started from a kit bash of the Walthers Nscale Clarksville depot.

Sketches how to modify the  Walthers depot were made years ago, but it's now on the way to be constructed.

I use Tichy windows and Evergreen plastic.

This was en enjoying sunny afternoon, working outside and easy to build project, but with a lot of character and unique.
