Do you mean this one?



I don't know of anyone making a kit, but maybe this pic will jog someone else's memory.

cheers

I don't recal ever seeing a version of this particular building. A two story stucco building wouldn't be hard scratch build.

I think that you might mean the only museum outside of Canada.

There are Hundreds of War Monuments all over Italy, France, Belgium and Holland from Canada in WW2. Pretty much every regiment that fought has at least one in each country.

The house in question is actually a monument. It has been renamed the Queens Own Rifles of Canada House is rememberance of the regiment who liberated it. Here is a link to a Veterns Affairs page. Scroll down to see the house and many monuments.

Like Cam said, this is the house, the same one as in the link in my first post.

The plaque in front of the house, you can find here:
