I have found that O scale railroad buildings are about right size for 40MM.
Also Grand Manner has some nice buildings in there 40MM range. I have never bought any or seen them in person, but they look very nice. link |

Grand Manner has a range of 40mm models that sound like they are just what you are looking for. I helped to produce the masters so have a vested interest. Tony link |

Sash and Saber has a blockhouse in resin:
Also one and two-story log cabins. Prices seem to be in line with Grand Manner,and therefore probably more than you have in mind (the blockhouse is $65 USD). However, for those who attend conventions in the US, Chris still,as far as I know,offers one free with the purchase of four bags of FIW figures. That's how I got mine,and the cabins also. Of course,you could make serviceable log buildings with wooden dowels without too much difficulty. You could take a look at this canoe: link And you could check with Doug at Miniature Service Center. I'd bet it's only a matter of time until he does one. |

Check the websites that sell old-school plastics like Marx.
Buildings for toy 54s were often undersized.
Note that building styles were different in New England, New Netherlands and new France, and although they were informed by old-world styles, they were not the same as in Europe.
Google things like: New Netherlands, 17th century architecture.
Unless you are seeking to portray the first few years of settlement, avoid thatched roofs in New Netherlands and New England. |

I have also used some wooden birdhouses from the craft store. |
