The split-level house for sure and maybe the bank?

I could never understand why he left his tie on after changing into a sweater and canvas shoes. Mr. Rogers gave the commencement address when my daughter graduated from the University of Pittsburgh.

I know he was a former Navy Seal, and had a lot of tatoos. He always wore a long sleeve shirt to keep the tatoos covered up. Maybe he had one around his neck area, that would show if he did not have the shirt buttoned up at the top. Hence the tie to go with the shirt??

I agree. I couldn't see any others. I wonder if the rest of the structures were kits or scratch-built?

Mr. Rogers House is Plasticville! Ho Scale Cape Cod.

In some of the other openings, alot of the buildings were by Tyco, Plasticville, AHM, and a few others.

Hate to pop your bubble but this is proven to be a rumor.

1) He had no Tattoos. (I have a friend who worked with him during the show.)

2) Check his Biography and dates, No time missing for military service.

3) Snopes.com agrees with me.
