y fascination with dollhouses started as a child when I proudly played with my own 1950s version. When I started collecting antique dolls as an adult my attention was immediately drawn to the historical dollhouse personalities that are found in all types of costumes for all of their various important jobs. Then it wasn’t long when antique dollhouses started catching my attention and soon we had several different styles and ages. About fifteen years ago my husband and I noticed a small add in Antique Week News for a large dollhouse in Ohio. We decided to travel there and check it out for ourselves. ANTIQUE DOLL COLLECTOR
