History of the dollhouse

Each dollhouse has a name. In this case "Lady Westerner". It was produced by the Dollhouse Mfg. Co. in N.J. As far as I understand the factory burned shortly after this model was manufactured and proceeded to go out of business. The date on the instructions is 1985. My mother-in-law purchased the dollhouse completely assembled as far as I'm aware. The width on the dollhouse is 31". It opens by raising the roof and then opening the front wall just like a giant door. This is traditionally how the Europeans would design their dollhouses. Americans traditionally leave the back wall open to get into each room.
