Lexington Avenue Dollhouses


In the 1960s there were antique stores along Lexington Avenue that specialized in selling miniature furniture and dollhouses.

Dad sold his dollhouses and furniture out of several of these stores. Here is one of his houses.

Below are two photos of one of the stores that survive at 1080 Lexington Avenue.
