a lecture on "Doll Houses and Miniatures." Mrs. Stenley said miniatures have been found in the tombs of the Egyptians. "People seem to like them because they are small enough to store, and the furniture can be moved around without asking for help." The first recorded doll house was built in 1550. The most famous was made for the Queen of England in J924. an exact replica of her residence, from silver faucets with running water to hand written bound books and hand painted pictures, all done by the authors and painters.

The most popular doll houses were the lithograph houses around the turn of the 20th century, mostly made in Germany. Then followed card board houses, masonite houses, tin doll houses, and even some of plastic. They can range from a one room cabin to castles, stores, star- hies, garages, and churches. A small 2-story lithograph doll house which originally sold for S2, now retails from S350-S100. and prices are still escalating considerably, she said.
