Airview: Altitude Four Feet This 50-year-old model of the City of Jerusalem, pictured from above, looks almost as if it were an actual airview of the city. Handmade in Germany, it was brought to the United States and sold in 1905 to H. Albert Wenk of 4325 Jackson Rd. He donated it to Zion Lutheran Church which exhibited it for a while, then stored it away in the church tower to be forgotten until a house cleaning a few years ago. Mrs. Edwin H. Hagen, Sunday School superintendent, took it over, restored paint and is now using it in church classes. About four feet square, the model, showing the city as it was 50 years ago, is complete with temple towers and telephone poles. Buildings appear to be made of metal.
