This city hall of Rochester, MN was built in 1932 and was used for that role 67 years. It is now used as a living space (see here). I made a stylized model of it (the building is quite large) and I had to omit the back end so it would fit on my fireplace mantle.
To build it you just need to:
- Down load the three (3) PDFs from these links:
- Rochester_MN_SW_1_Ave_224_OldCityHall_page_1_of_3.pdf
- Rochester_MN_SW_1_Ave_224_OldCityHall_page_2_of_3.pdf
- Rochester_MN_SW_1_Ave_224_OldCityHall_page_3_of_3.pdf
- Send them to Officemax or a similar print service. Choose 8.5"x11" size and 100-lbs cardstock. And color.
- Assemble tools/materials: scissors, a utility knife to score edges, and Elmer's glue. Oh, and a toothpick to spread the glue on the tabs.
