Distinguished by pointed windows arches, high pitched gables topped with pinnacles and elaborate ornamental carving, Gothic Revival homes were generally built of wood, therefore acquiring the label Carpenter's Gothic. This exquisitely detailed model invites hobbyists to recreate the Delamater House, an early Gothic Revival house built in 1844. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and detailed diagrams explain how to cut, fold and glue together a charming 9" x 9" x 8" replica of this striking structure, which today is part of the historic Beekman Arms Inn in Rhinebeck, New York. Perfect as an addition to model train layouts, this authentic H-O scale model will delight model makers, miniaturists and lovers of Victoriana.
