Imagination dollhouse by Marx

You have to admit this is a striking dollhouse.

                                And colorful.

If you look at doll house history, the 1960's  are a major time of change in dollhouse development. Hello plastic.
The figures evoke that mid century vibe. It is similar to the "Mad Men" look which is so popular now.

The idea was to offer rooms that could be arranged in any manner.

I love the colours and module aspects of this house and the lighting in the first photo is fantastic.
I can see why the ladies who live there are so skinny. All those stairs.

I had one of these doll houses when I was a little girl, my Grandmother had bought it for me for Christmas. What I loved about this house was you could arrange the levels any way you wanted. You could even keep it as all one level. It was so nice to see a doll house it such great shape!

I had these doll houses!!! Although I also had your more "traditional" 70's doll house, these were by far my favorites, because they demanded more creative play. Sure wish I could find them today...

Thank you for this flashback to my full-of-play days.
