Condition
Overall in good condition. The model shows minor surface dirt and a few shallow surface scratches. The model has four elements presently detached, including an elevated walkway, and appears to be lacking a few small elements to attach two of these losses. Although lacking a few small elements the integrity of the model remains intact. With evidence of very minor glue residue that appears from the original construction and not a later restoration. A wonderful full sculptural model that encapsulates Breuer modernist architectural vision.
