Half-Timbered Corner Townhouse

On the corner where two old streets meet, a townhouse has been leaning over the sidewalk for five centuries. Its timber frame has weathered to a deep brown, its chimney stacks still rise above a steeply pitched red roof, and generations of shopkeepers, tenants and neighbors have come and gone through its doors. This building set puts that entire corner of history on your shelf, floor by floor.

The modular construction is the heart of this build. Each floor lifts away to open up four fully furnished interiors: a ground-floor restaurant with a service counter, stools and a dining table; a hat and umbrella shop with its own display stands; a clockmaker's workshop crowded with a tall floor clock and smaller bedside pieces; and a snug attic apartment tucked under the rafters. Room sections can be rearranged or stacked alongside other modular buildings, so a single corner can grow into a whole street. Eight minifigures bring the address to life, giving every floor a resident, a shopkeeper or a customer.
