America’s Most Iconic Homes

In its newest exhibition, the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., takes on a topic near and dear to us all: home.

Running through the center of the exhibition, which includes actual wall frames and a spread of some 200 quintessential household objects, is a fabulous row of 14 celebrated American houses, reproduced as intricate scale models.

Aaaahhhh the Building Museum is one of my FAVORITE DC museums, love that they are doing this and wish I could get back to my hometown to see it.
