I hope someone out there sees this and you find the missing pieces! What a great house it could be.

That is so sad--I hope someone, somewhere, finds and keeps those frames and connects with you at some point.

It would be great if the frames miraculously turned up. What a fabulous house.

What a shame. Maybe the original owner started the project, felt it was too much for them and boxed the rest. I really hope someone can help...maybe has the frame or dimensions to build a new one =0( Good luck

Oh jeeze, that is a disappointment. Hopefully something turns up that will make this into good news. But now, guess you'll just keep the kit aside as a future project...?

Too bad about the kit but all is not "lost", so to speak. You are so talented that I cannot believe you cannot replicate the frames. I own a ½ scale shot-gun style house made by a local elderly gentleman some years ago. This building (as were all his buildings, actually) is framed in much the same way except that he used a micro-thin sheet wood for "drywall". It's very innovative and is extremely lightweight. I also know of a young guy in Florida (I think the Orlando area?) who has, in progress, a HUGE Contemporary Tudor made entirely this way. Mr. Long has retired due to failing eyesight, but I ran into the other fellow (Jay or Jake) at the recent Orlando miniature show. I will see if I can find contact info him and perhaps you could chat about how to go about this, using the pieces you have. Just a thought... It's a beautiful house.

Thanks for the votes of confidence! I'm sure to figure something out in the future. :yes: Susan - that's Jeremy, and I know him and his beautiful work well. :D

Well... I knew it was a "J" name at least! LOL. Since you already know him, I am sure he would be delighted to assist you in any way. He seemed a really likable fellow when we spoke and very happy to answer questions and give advice. It was from him that I learned of the amazing Magnum Wood shop right in my son's college town of gainesville :-)

What a shame, and it's such a lovely looking property too. I'm quite sure (as others have said) you will be able to come up with something quite spectacular using the bits you have but on the other hand, there may just be someone out there who's reading this who can help with the missing bits........!

I have the entire Carlson's Tudor Queen Anne frame, completely assembled; and an incomplete box of art board sections, bags of shingles, floor pieces, etc. No instructions. We used this frame as a display in our long closed Durham, NC hobby store which specialized in model trains and some doll houses in the late 70s and early 80s.

Thanks, Carole! I imagine there are several of these incomplete kits out there. I've seen maybe one fully assembled.

Hi, I just came across this post. Are you still out there? I actually have this dollhouse completed. It was a wonderful kit to build from, easily customizable. I worked in a craft store back in the late 70s. If I recall the kit originally sold for over $300. I'm sure I'm too late to help at this point but I was wondering if you ever were able to complete yours? Would be interesting to see how you finished yours off compared to what I did with mine. Thinking about selling mine. I really don't have any good place to display it any longer. It is a shame, it really is a beautiful house.

No, I haven't revisited it. I still have the parts, though. :yes:
