Anyone model Fond du Lac, Wisconsin?

I'm doing some much needed cleanup of my train room and environs (more on this later) and found, among many other things, a partially completed model of the Fond du Lac (SOO, C&NW, Wisconsin Central?) depot I built from scratch from plans in the 1970 Model Railroader magazine. That makes it over 50 years old (ouch!). It's built of wood, with many tiny pieces, and has some damage, see pics. It's also needs the additional smaller dormers. It maybe not up to today's scratch building standards, but I think it would make a good start for someone modeling the Wisconsin location.

I don't want to throw it out or sell it, but will make it available to a good home for the cost of postage.
Please let me know if you're interested by PM; I'd like to see it live on in the right setting.
Thanks, Otto K.

It is definately a very nice model of the building.

I'd find a place to put it and keep it...

Looks pretty good for ~50 years old.
