ABSTRACT:
A miniature building has walls surrounding an area and forming corners where pairs of adjacent walls meet. Each wall is formed by a series of horizontal elongated wall members stacked one upon the other, the wall members of each wall being interlocked with adjacent wall members of an adjacent wall at each corner formed by a pair of adjacent walls. A pair of opposed walls has upper portions extending above at least one other wall, and a roof is mounted on the upper portions of the pair of opposed walls. The roof is formed by a series of horizontal elongated roof members located one above the other in stepped formation, the wall members of the upper wall portions being interlocked with the elongated roof members. The building also has at least one retaining assembly retaining the elongated members of the roof and walls in position. Each retaining assembly has a shaft member passing through apertures in respective elongated members and having opposite ends protruding therefrom, and a retainer at each protruding end of the shaft member, the retainers retaining the elongated members of the roof and walls in position.
