The Rose Tavern
A Z-Scale diorama by Paw of a Bear

Back to the Z Gallery

The Rose Tavern is a Z-scale version of a typical, slightly rundown, neighborhood bar. Through the front windows you can see the tables and the bar. A covered staircase leads to the upstairs apartment. A shed style structure added onto the back of the tavern houses a kitchen. In the fenced garden next to the tavern, you can see the climbing roses that give the establishment its name. SOLD TO A PRIVATE COLLECTOR

Please note this is a scale model, not a toy.  It is not suitable for children. Besides it is much too nice for children in any case.

Here is a photograph of the Z-scale Rose Tavern put with two other structure dioramas to make City Block No.2
