Two old sets I've just put together.

I'm not quite sure what this is supposed to be, but it could be a school and it reminds me of Bauhaus in some way.

This looks nice, but rather impractical. And just what is the space below the house supposed to be? Bicycle shed?

for the first set , it's written on it, it's a taxi things with an hotel!

and I love the little white house, I don't know what the space below is supposed to be, but it's cool ^^

Thanks for sharing these. These are some charming little buildings. I've no idea why the taxi sign is higher than the hotel buildings rather than over the driveway. As for the white house, I've seen alot of older buildings raised over the parking areas, but those are almost always apartment buildings. Looks like the LEGO designers were just having some fun.

Sorry about the signs! They are not part of the set, but how I used to build it back then. I've also lost some of the orignal parts, especially the roof plates and one of the 1x1x2 windows is lighter red than the other and it's short of yellow 1x1s.

More of my lego signs I could have chosen from.

The space below the balcony is probably car parking, although there's no car in the set. But under the house itself is strange, one side open with a fence and a narrow door.

Another white house with a red roof (346)

Almost parts complete, but I can't find the baseplate, which should be smaller than this grey one. For some reason I long ago replaced the white smoke stacks with blue. Probably didn't seem strange then, so I let them remain blue. You can also see that one of the inside corner slope bricks is smooth instead of textured. There should also be a car in the set, but no trace of it.

The next is blue on red and red on blue (356). I'd try to make the roofs not the same colours as the walls, so this isn't a favourite. Thinking of replicating it in other colours.

No internal floors. For some reason the blue bricks are very discoloured due to light, so you can see how it was put together. The red ones managed much better. Swedish flag is not original to the set, but it was in the box.

The yellow and black kiosk is from another set.

Gas station and tanker:

You can see that one yellow 2x2 is new.

Nice touch that all but the front axle wheels are double.
