39"h x 30"w x 16"d. A large wooden two-story house has painted yellow brick façade with painted stone quoining and lintels that are artfully achieved with shaded effects. The roof has dark green painted shingles and there is a single dormer in the center of the roof. The house has 4 large windows with arched tops and a center double door with painted wood-grain finish and painted decorative window over the doors. The front hinges open for access to four large non-connecting rooms and the back roof hinges open for access to one large attic room. The rooms have replaced paper or painted walls and floor. The name "Skovgaarden",presumably the family name of the original child owner, is painted over the attic dormer window. Exterior is excellent with original well-preserved finish. Circa 1880.
