Sure. I'd have to go through my catalog, or down into the storage room in
the basement <shudder> to see the exact model, but... Model Power, maybe?
It's the cheap general store. For the second and third model, I built one
with no dormer, and no back ramp, and the other with both dormers, so that
it looked as though the roof had been raised, and again, no back ramp. So,
two very different houses, residences, but obviously in a similar style
for
the area that located them.
