Georgian style dollhouse gambrell roof and brick-painted exterior, with shuttered double-hung windows and raised panel entrance door; back is removed displaying rooms furnished with miniature period furniture, rugs, artwork and accessories, including joggling board and Christmas tree with presents. H25" W43" D23"

Provenance : A Charleston, South Carolina estate.

Other Notes: One of two dollhouses patterned after actual buildings in Charleston; the other was the workshop of Thomas Elfe. This house was chosen because it had a gambrell roof; it is scaled at one inch per foot. The owner painted the rooms the same colors and furnished the dollhouse identically to the actual home; she had the fireplace and mantel reproduced and added miniature versions of the door casings and chair rail.
