Teeny tiny little scientists would have worked at this model of NIH’s Building 1.  Made from a wood block covered by paper with artistically hand-drawn windows and doors, this miniature came from a topological map of the NIH campus, c. 1950.  Unfortunately, the topological map was mostly destroyed in a move several years ago, but some of the original buildings were saved for posterity.
