GENERAL INFORMATION. Baston designed Mt. Vernon as a companion miniature to his George and Martha Washington (SML-287). A scale model of Washington's historic Virginia home (complete with pillars for the front porch!) It was sold at the Mt. Vernon gift shop. The piece was very difficult to produce and is rare.
