Dollhouses - #WordlessWednesday
Every year I pay tribute to Roberta King, who was murdered in a mass shooting at the American Civic Association in Binghamton, New York on April 3, 2009. She was a collector of dolls and dollhouses that represented Jewish life, and her family generously allows the Hanukkah House museum (open for a month each year in Binghamton, New York) to display some of her dollhouses and dolls.
When someone passes on, what remains are the memories.
A room.
This museum is in what used to be a mansion belonging to a patent medicine maker who became quite wealthy.

Interesting doll houses!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE doll houses! What a beautiful legacy Roberta left. And how wonderful that we can see and enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteWow. Those are lovely. Sad story.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of how much I used to long for doll houses as a child. Never had one, but still love to admire them. So lovely to see these pictures but the story behind is a sad one!
ReplyDeleteHow bittersweet.Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh these are lovely, despite the bitter-sweet stories.
ReplyDeleteI love doll houses and thrilled to see this post from you. Thank you Alana.
Such a sad loss. I get a sense of loneliness from the doll houses.
