Ancient step pyramids


The pyramid on the left was a gift from Mexico and the one on the right was a gift from Belize. These may not qualify as actual miniature buildings however I like them. Some people think aliens built these building. I think it was slaves.

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Why is this 2 inch tall imported Leaning Tower of Pisa being assaulted by a giant Godzilla like creature? We may never know.

Biltmore House


I've seen the house but have not been inside. It's a shame because I live just a few hours away. I got this exact building twice as a gift. I'm not complaining, I love it. I am always thankful for gifts of buildings.

Knife fight

Cheese knives are classy and these examples are extra classy because they have miniature building handles. My sister snagged this set at some low end chain store. I think it was around $10 for all four knives.

Mystery Bank





This is a Citizens Bank coin bank. It is 4 inches deep and 5 inches wide. It is metal but I am not sure what kind. My sister (Pro miniature building hunter) found this in a thrift store. It was under $15. The bottom has a locking mechanism at the bottom which came damaged. I have no idea where this building is from and have never heard of this bank.

Puerta de Bisagra

I don't know nuch about this gate. My sister picked it up for me on a semester in Spain. I want to visit Toledo.

La Sagrada Família (The Holy Family)

I got this from my sister after she finished her semester in Spain. It is a cool building with a cool history.
