From Larry Herman:

"Half Scale Ye Olde Nordstrom" structure.

I originally created this piece for several NAME members as a class project in California in 1996. The prototype was designed to resemble the Nordstrom department store, known for its high-end merchandise and in-store pianists. Although Nordstrom has since discontinued live music in its retail locations, we have retained the piano in this model.

The piece features a piano by The Kennedy’s and dolls by Loretta Kazan. Most of the clothing and hats were created by Bauder Pine, and the furniture is by Bespaq.

From Samantha Murray:

One inch scale shop created to house my collection of Andrea Fabriga pottery and other unusual artisan items that had no home. Structure was a workshop with Bluette Maloney. Artists included Nicole Walton Marble, Troy Schmidt, Amanda Skinner, Kummerow, and many others I can’t remember. Items were collected over 20+ years.
