Look how cute! And historic! It’s a cardboard model of a house in Cabin John, Maryland, made in 1947 by the mechanical engineer who lived there.
You can get this and so much more local history at A Fine Collection. The collections manager/curator of the Montgomery County Historical Society – who is also a good friend of mine – posts a different object from their collection every week.
My sis lives in Montgomery County — I’ll bet she’s never been to the Historical Society. I’m going to tell her to go.
You should! I’ve been to the Waters House approximately once, because Germantown is far away, but I think it might be worth going out there to see this cute house model. I should check on when that exhibit is opening.
