“THE 
DOLL’S HOUSE” 
The RESIDENCE of 
MRS. JAMES A. 
WRIGHT 
a t 
BEDFORD HILLS, 
NEW YORK 
A Fascinating Example of 
Reconstruction 
The back of the little house is 
here shown valiantly climbing up¬ 
hill. It is only 20' by 40', but 
despite its miniature size is com¬ 
pletely equipped with furnace, 
electric light and perfect bath 
rooms, of which there are two. 
There is a good sized living room, 
dining room, three bedrooms, 
kitchen and maid’s room, all fur¬ 
nished on a scale to suit exactly 
its small proportions 
The little old original 
house was of frame and 
the picture below shows 
it after it was covered 
with wire and stucco. At 
the right, “The Doll’s 
House” is shown com¬ 
plete, in all its trimness 
and gaiety of light green 
shutters with an enchant¬ 
ing new doorway, an en¬ 
closed porch, and a little 
white gateway with a 
decorative fence mounted 
on the stone wall. Beau¬ 
tiful old trees cast their 
shade over it and up the 
stone steps one may go 
to the smallest but most 
delightful garden
