| A Rich Keystone Dollhouse with gypsum hardboard walls. There are six rooms but it came with none of it's original furnishings. |
 |
| The rooms look lonely and dark. These cry out for a little girl's affection I think. |
 |
| Here you can see where time has taken it toll on the particleboard edges. The printed checkerboard floors and carpets were once a bright Kelly green. |
 |
| The color is still brilliant on the outside of the doll's house. Brilliant evergreens, ivies, tulips and window boxes cheerfully decorate this popular period doll house. |
 | |
| The wooden trim and steps are still intact. The doorway is flanked by red vases and narrow casement windows. I love the diamond shaped window panes. |
 |
| Here you can see the bright red shutters with tiny pine tree carvings depicted in the upper panels. There is a solitary louvered shutter in the dormer of the roof as well. |
 |
| The stone printed chimney is still intact! But like many doll houses from this era, there are no curtains or window panes included. |

 |
| The designs for dollhouses manufactured in the 30s and 40s were very contemporary to the popular home designs of their day, particularly in the United States. |
 |
| The original furnishings were plastic and the figures were usually dressed in suits. Yes, even the mother wore a plastic molded suit! However, I have not begun to look for these figures. |

| The wall are different in that they are mounted at a distinct angle inside of the frame. |
