Large 1928 seven room Gottschalk dollhouse with an impressive wrap around staircase leading up to a large front porch with 4 white pillars supporting the oversize balcony. The front porch has 4 large windows with the Gottschalk cardboard mullions (as do all the windows in the house and double french doors that lead into the living room.) The balcony has 2 large windows, double french doors in the center and single french doors on each side. The attic has a large dormer with curved roof and a row of 4 windows. The original chimney sits on the center top of the roof.
There are total of 7 rooms, the large living room on the first floor is flanked by the entry hall on the right with a staircase and a traditional toilet in the closet that Gottschalk is famous for. On the left of the living room is the kitchen. The second floor has the staircase hallway on the right, large enough for a few pieces of furniture, the large bedroom in the center, and bathroom on the left. In the attic is another good size room that I used as a second bedroom.
The house is in amazing condition for being almost 100 years old, the wallpapers and floor papers are all original and in beautiful condition, the attic room never had wall paper or floor paper. I just used a rug on the floor for my bedroom.
The outside of the house shows some age wear. There is a small old repair to the front right corner of the dormer roof, a few of the turned spindles on the front porch and balcony railings (presumably lost or damaged) were replaced with straight dowels. They were done very nicely and in a pattern that looks like it was made that way. The green flower boxes along the top of the railing were repainted green, (I think they were white originally) and the flowers are missing. The original electrical connector is non functioning. We tried to show everything in the pictures.
Underneath the house is stamped with the #3/339. This model is shown in the book “Moritz Gottschalk, 1892-1931 on page 225.”, one like mine is pictured on page #121 of the book “The Genius of Moritz Gottschalk.” It is missing its front step.
