Will Your Next Home Be Built By LEGO®?

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executives

This past Saturday we visited the annual Manassas VA Railway Festival. Held in Historic Old Manassas it celebrates the role the city played in the economic development of the National Capital Area beginning in the early 19th century. Of course, the rail line through Manassas was vital to both Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War.

Since this was our first visit we looked forward to the massive model railroad displays. I'm sure you can imagine our surprise to find that three of the five displays were made entirely of LEGO® pieces including the trains. Only the track rails were made with materials you would expect at a model railroad display. Are LEGO® built homes just over the horizon?

Those pictures are incredible. It just goes to show you what you can do with Legos and a little imagination.

Karen very cool, sure to delight both young and old.  I think I recently saw a story where some guy left  good job to open a Lego store where he builds things out of Legos and according to the story business was good.  I am sure he was inspire by his first Lego set.

Anyway on a more serious note,  looks like this was a fun place to visit.

Karen: Last month's Dwell magazine featured a kitchen island made of legos. I thought it was very cool.

Karen, FAO Schwartz has this amazing Lego room in their 5th Avenue store in New York.  And some of the stuff did look a bit habitable.
