The Doll House, opposite, was built in 1927 as a gift for Minerva Cole Woodroof, seated at left, who has since seen the playhouse handed on to daughter Minerva Woodroof Winslow, standing, granddaughter Holly Winslow Mitchell, seated at right, and now great-granddaughter Callie Brannen Mitchell. Inside the house, near left, Callie puts her own decorating stamp on the little home. Sara Ashley and Robert Estes, below, enjoy playing in this Newnan playhouse on the property of their grandparents, Murray and Martha Ann Parks.
Countless Newnan children have played pretend in The Doll House, and its sweet door is open and waiting for the next generation. Martha Ann Parks said she first learned her domestic skills in a barn.
