This house is an American colonial set in New York in 1780. My mother has fine art and design degrees from Stanford and Parsons circa 1955 and patterned her houses after period paintings. I’m not sure which piece she used for this house. 

The two inch by three inch copy of the portrait of John Adams by Gilbert Stuart hangs on toile wallpaper, a popular pattern in the American Colonies.

The brick was laid by hand with flat clay bricks glued to the side and mortared. My mother especially enjoyed laying miniature brick and also made several patios. She remembers her source as “a man in St. Paul who liked to make bricks.” If you ever have the opportunity to visit Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, a working brickyard details the laborious process of making bricks in colonial America. https://research.colonialwilliamsburg.org/Foundation/journal/Winter05-06/bricks.cfm

I think the house shell was purchased from Ah Miniatures! in Minneapolis.
