Description
20" H. x 13" W. A wooden framed two story house with painted blue roof and attic gable dormer, is covered with lithographed paper to suggest stucco and brick. The hinged front has wooden porches on first and second floor with carved columns and fancily gilded balustrades. There are two front doors that open and close with silver handles, four glass front windows, two glass windows at each side, and marbleized paper base. The interior contains a pulley-system elevator with hand-wind at the outside, original lace curtains, wall and floor papers, and an original Gottschalck limed-oak bedroom set. A nearly duplicate house, but smaller and without elevator, is shown in Little Houses by the Side of the Road, #4. Excellent condition. Circa 1900.
