Transfiguration school was offered K-12 education until about 2003 when it was merged into other schols in the city of Rome, NY. The building was subsequently demolished.
This is a simple facade model of the school as it faced South James street. The actual building was at least as deep as it was wide on the front that you see.
To build this N scale (Japanese 1/150) model:
- Download the PDF from this link
- Print out the PDF on 8"x11.5" cardstock using a color laser printer. (You can do that through a print service from OfficeMax for example. It costs me about 50 cents per sheet printed).
- Using a ruler and a utility knife, gently score the folding edges where the tabs, roof, and building corners will need to be folded. That will give you sharp lines.
- Using Elmer's glue and a toothpick, gently apply a small amount of glue to the tabs, and glue the building together.
Completed model
The model was designed using Inkscape and exported to PDF
