This rare and delightful, hand-painted decoration will add a little mystery and a lot of Christmas cheer to your collection. Common to other listings of this same house, the paint on the awnings shows cracking. This Department 56 building comes with the original cordless lighting system and a bracket to allow a corded bulb. The original owner used the standard bulb bracket to connect the house to a multi-socket cord. As you can see, this kept the battery contacts in excellent condition. The side railing was broken but has been re-glued and is holding. Some of the paint flaked off this railing. Background trees not included.
