Has anyone tried building one of these old models found on the Library of Congress website?

I thought they were pretty interesting because they are so old (1880 & 1881).
I did a little photoshop work to fix the missing pieces which are cut off of the "Home Office" model. The art is hand-drawn lithographs so there are few minor mis-matches on the heights of the walls and the widths of the sides of the chimneys, but otherwise it went together well.
I contacted the Travelers Insurance Company and they sent me this last photo which shows the building in Hartford depicted in the model in 1872. It was a residential building before the company purchased it as an office. Later the building was changed by so many additions and extra floors that you can no longer tell that this house was hiding inside!
