This dollhouse is an exact copy of an antique dollhouse built in 1870 by Joseph Zumbusch.  The dollhouse is comprised of black walnut as was the original.  The original house once belonged to Lenore Thomas, a longtime doll and miniature collector.

The Joseph Zumbusch house is briefly described in A History of Dolls’ Houses by Flora Gill Jacobs.  The houses are 6 ft. tall, 45 inches wide and 21 inches deep. The original house by Joseph Zumbusch is currently in the collection of Sandy Kralovetz--a longtime friend of Mickie's.
