A housing which takes the form of a model or replica of a larger structure such as the stable which was the birthplace of Jesus. The housing can be assembled and disassembled repeatedly and without the use of permanent fasteners such as nails or glue. The housing includes a generally rectangular base having slots provided near the peripheral edges on the upper surface thereof. Front and rear panel members are respectively inserted into a parallel pair of slots along the longer dimension of the base. A pair of side members are respectively inserted into a second pair of parallel slots disposed along the shorter dimension of the base. The vertical edges of the panel and side members are respectively received within corresponding slots of four corner members wherein each corner member includes a pair of tranversely oriented slots and an inclined upper surface. First and second generally rectangular, peaked roof members are each provided with a pair of parallel slots on the lower surfaces thereof and along the longer dimensions thereof. The upper edges of the panel members extend above the inclined surfaces of the corner members and are received within the corresponding slots of the roof members in press-fit frictional engagement therewith. The spacing of the roof member slots pretensions and urges the panel members toward one another, and the engagement of the inclined surfaces with the sloped roof members precludes horizontal translation of the assembled corner members.
