Large replica house modeled after the Norwegian "Eidsvoll House". The model house is white with a black-brown roof and features three stories. The front of the house has steps going up to the entrance and a balcony on the second floor. The house has three chimneys attached to the roof and four roof windows. A brass plaque is affixed to the roof and reads, "This model is of the private house in the town of Eidsvold, Norway, where the Norwegian Constitution was signed in 1814. The building is now called 'Eidsvold' (Eidsvollsbygningen or Eidsvoll Building). It is a building very dear to the heart of Norwegians because it marks the beginning of their life as a nation."
