Things From the Basement

 

  Most of my table top buildings are from the company "Things from the Basement." These are very nicely done MDF kits which are easy to put together and look great.  In addition if your looking for correct 17th or 18th century house for New England or the Northern colonies these should've on your table.  Joerg Bender who runs the business is one of the nicest people in the hobby.

I am also delighted as some of the buildings were located in one of the parks I worked at (Minute Man NHP).  The Captain William Smith House and the Hartwell Tavern.

Please note with the tavern that both the  gamble and shed sections were added much later. For its appearance in 1775 you only need buy the building itself.  I bought all three sections because my office was in the shed itself.

The two New England houses and the extra extensions for each are great value.  You get two typical houses which can be modified further with the additions.     In addition the meeting  house is much more typical of a  church in the countryside  here New England then the the building with a steeple.

I am thrilled to see Joerg has added more buildings.  The Jacob Whittimore house  was in the park near the Battle Road visitor center.  The Hancock - Clarke house was the personage in Lexington where John Hancock and Samuel Adams were staying.   Great to see both of these in the series and I will be picking them up at Historicon this year.
