Cornerstone Series(R) Bailey Savings & Loan HO KIT In towns large or small, the bank remains one of the most important (and the most common) buildings. Until now, adding one to your layout meant long hours with a difficult kit, or weeks of scratchbuilding. Bailey Savings & Loan features authentic Beaux Arts (Fine Arts) styling which used ornamental columns, arches and cut stone to project an image of power and strength. (Many libraries and city halls were constructed in this style as well.) Ideal for any business district from the 1900s to the present day, buildings like this were common downtown and in the suburbs. This kit features highly detailed plastic walls which looks just like cut stone and the front includes columns. Bank and library decals are included.
