Bedroom of eldest son, Peter Jr., in the house of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Doll
notes: label: Description
content: Children of all ages (even the grown-up ones) love miniatures and doll houses. Faith Bradford loved them so much that she offered to make one for the Smithsonian Institution to display in its museum. Faith used imagination and creativity to make a home and a story for Peter and Rose Doll and their ten children, five servants, twenty pets, and two grandparents who have come to visit. She filled the Dolls’ house with the furniture, appliances, and decorations that a busy family might need in the early 20th century. Some were homemade and some were store-bought. All were chosen with care.
