This printable 1:144 or Micro Scale Dolls house is modeled on a section of the 18th Century Almshouses which house the Geffrye Museum in London, England. Buildings like this were once a common ways to house the poor, and the design is typical of the period. The scale of this building makes it suitable for N scale railroads or for use as a Christmas decoration or in a scale village scene.

As this is a similar size to N scale railroads, the building can be used as part of an N scale layout, or N scale accessories can be used along with the house as you can see the dog, cat and fire hydrant from a set of N scale animals here.

The snowman is made of three small beads, covered with a coating of white acrylic paint, and decorated with micro bead eyes and a mouth
