HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 

National Toy & Miniature Museum- Architectural Dollhouses

By the time I visited the architectural dollhouse
section I was very short on time, so I stopped by
three of my favorites.  This large half timber 
English country home is a delight, inside and 
out.  So much to see......

 
No interior lighting, so these are a 
little blurry, (hard to keep my hand steady)
 but, I hope you will enjoy the peek anyway.

William Robertson spent 5 years of full time work
building the double sided Twin Manors, a Georgian
 Colonial circa 1790.  The attention to authenticity
and detail is absolutely jaw dropping, right down
to the microscopic door latches that can be locked
with a tiny key.

A few of the 13 spectacular rooms.

 

If you would like to learn more about

Twin Manors, click these links from

 the Toy & Miniature Blog....it's amazing.

The House That Abe Built is an authentic

 replica of Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home.

I admit, this is my favorite.  Even though it 

appears simple, the attention to detail

 is perfection. 

Again, no lighting, impossible to get an 

interior photo.  Here are a few from the 

Toy & Miniature Museum's blog with links.
