I was at the Ann Arbor Thrift Shop a few days ago, and saw an
interesting little house.  Or rather, the front of  a house,
handcrafted in wood.

My initial guess is that it was an early 20th century builder's model
-- an item they would show to prospective customers to give an idea
what various standard house plans would look like.

Or maybe it's not that old.  It's certainly well made.  For eight
bucks, how could I not buy it?
