Wild West Scale Model Builders - 106 - Municipal Structures

Specific Item Information: Details include: Interior etched floor boards, one piece removable roof with roof trusses, windows and doors that can be positioned open or closed and include laser-cut glazing. As new towns and camps popped up all across the United States, wood construction was usually the first, fastest, and least expensive means to erect a building and town. This meant that these early towns and their buildings were always at risk if a fire broke out. Many well known towns, and a few cities, fell to fires before fire codes were established. Often, these codes included provisions requiring brick and or stone construction. Therefore, a town was always in need of firehouses to help mobilize a fire relief effort. Footprint = 2.1” x 3.8”
