The Vineyard Cottage Doll House

Item: Custom-Crafted Doll House
Donor: Frederick H. Schneider
Appraised Value: $250

In the town of Oak Bluffs on the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard, is a community of some 350 small, fanciful summer cottages. What began in 1835 as a cluster of tents became a community of Carpenter-Gothic cottages after the Civil War. Traditionally the closely spaced cottages measured just 11x19 feet, with their fronts bedecked in gingerbread and bargeboards mimicking tent trim. What a special gift for a young child!
