DOLLS’ HOUSES IN AMERICA: HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN MINIATURE
by Flora Gill Jacobs, Charles Scribner’s Sons, N.Y., 1974.
“The first half of this book describes and illustrates 114 houses, distributed all over the United States and Canada, and gives the dimensions, dates and provenance for each house.  Each one is unique, having been built by an individual craftsman, from the earliest known example (1744) to the present.  The second half takes up the commercially made houses, shops and other buildings which came on the market in the latter part of the 19th century and proliferated in the early 20th century.  Furnishings, dolls’ house dolls and present-day makers are fully covered.”  This book, by a noted author and collector, contains and depicts many items from private collections, hitherto unpublished.  This book will make a fine addition to the reference library of collectors, dealers and curators of dolls and doll houses as well as enthusiasts and connoisseurs of miniatures.
