Chapel Playhouse Plan

What small town is complete without a local market, fire house, schoolhouse and church bells rigging in the distance, calling from that place of communal worship. Along with seven narrow and open front windows, four glass shed windows can be installed. A classic gable and steeple, plus some artful trim work give this playhouse much needed backyard charm.
