any idea if the actual house still stands?
Gosh, I have no idea, but how cool would that be if it did? Would be great to get a shot of it.
That is a wonderful house, I wish we could also look inside.
Can I use this image for a book jacket?
Unfortunately, I don't own the house or the image, so I can't give permission.
I have an architectural model similar to this only from the 1950's. Inside is very detailed. I have been searching for information about it but cannot find anything online. Could you refer me to someplace I could learn more about it? I can send pictures if interested.
