Thank you for watching. My hope is to preserve this work of art and to honor the maker and original owners of this enchanting house.

I was today years old when I finally understood the allure of dollhouses. It’s not about the dolls, it’s about the HOUSES. I am in love!

I started out amused and entertained with the housing of the mice - then thankful you didn't put the child on the toilet. When you got to the tour of the doll house with the recently found furniture - it became emotional. The man who built it for his children and perhaps grandchildren are all shining down on you. You are doing them proud. Wondering - any interest in researching who lived in the house where the doll house came from? I am loving this journey - thank you, Scott.

Even complete with the Trophy Ram head over the mantle. Someone really went all out for some little girl. :~)

The tour of the house had all the emotion of an urban explorer's exploration of an abandoned family house. This is a wonderful project and a real and authentic look back at the past. Just lovely!

This must have been a huge project to create. Imagine the happy children receiving this and the countless hours of joy it brought. Not to mention the love the person making this had in their heart. So happy you are bringing a new life to this precious house.

That little mouse had themselves some pretty fancy digs.. lol..

I can imagine the hours of fun a little girl enjoyed playing with this wonderful doll house.

When we look through the windows out it really looks like it's in the neighborhood with the neighboring houses.

I love everything, all of the furniture and decorations. For some reason I love the little coffee mug I guess because I drink a lot of coffee. If the girl in the bathroom can sit I would put her on the vanity bench.

Can you imagine the child on the day it received this lovely house! Wow! This must have cost a pretty penny back in the day. I LoVe it! Can't wait to see the finished restoration.

It's like you saved an old building from being demolished. Thanks.

The house tour took me back 100 years!! What a wonderful find!!

I got the chills towards the end of your video as you panned back to reveal the added furniture! It’s all so precious. Thank you for bringing us on your doll house journey 😊

It's the perfect thing for a person who loves nostalgia: you don't have to have the whole house dedicated to it; you now have a whole new category of treasures to look for; and you can rearrange things to your heart's content. I loved the sturdy little coffee mug waiting on the table. And was that a spittoon?! I would, however, throw one of those lovely area rugs over that torn bit of carpet upstairs. You wouldn't want someone to trip! Can't wait for more!

Just to know that you are giving as much to this doll house as the person who built it is amazing. Please keep showing us as you go along on this.

What a delightful tour of an old house. It almost seemed real and not a child's plaything. So glad you found it. Fun seeing what the mice brought to the larder.👏☺

You can buy those tiles all day long at craft stores just that size too you don’t have to file anything down

Of all the homes in all the land, I am happy this home landed with you. You do beautiful work restoring your finds. Ill be watching!

Omg,the dollhouse is incredible,It brings me back to being younger,my Papa build me a barbie dollhouse,and hand made all the furniture,I passed it onto my niece

at certain angles, it really does look as though one is really peering into someone's home...so realistic

I was so surprised to find out that it had electricity! I can see how happy this project is making u! Have fun!

Oh my Word!! You got so many pieces of furniture!!! And all those tiny, DEAR accessories!! Umbrella, cane, carpet, book, lovely vases and candlestick...plus a Wee Jade Elephant!!! Can you imagine the FUN that father had making this for his little girl????🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍❣❣❣❣❣🤗🤗 Must have been a Wonderful Christmas Surprise!! So much love and care went into this one...💗💗💗💗💗 And that Mouse had a Very Ritzy House for a few years!!!😳😳😂😂😂👍👍🥰🥰 Thanks for including us in your Journey!!

Reminds me of the doll house my Grandfather built for my much older cousin Alice. It was stored in the rafters of my other cousin's garage. When I was a kid, I'd look at it and ask if I could have it, I was always told, no, it belongs to Alice. I went out to look at it one day and it was gone. My Aunt told me it had a wasp nest, so they threw it away! Broke my heart, I could have easily cleaned out a nest!

How can anybody cry over a dolls house?.Well I just did.Beautiful house ,those mice were very lucky to live in such a beautiful house

That furniture is great!

Wow! The more I see the better it gets. Whoever built this gave a lot of attention to detail. What a well loved little girl who received it. So glad it will now be lovingly and meticulously restored.

I agree with Faye Mills you can get the same size mosaic ceramic tiles at a craft/hobby store. Also why can't you put the squared end of the bath tub in the corner to fit the outline on the floor? Minneapolis 👑

Wow, they found a lot of the furniture Can't wait to see the finished doll house. That living room was amazing and the iron dogs in the fireplace was the finishing touch to it.

I’m amazed you found a doll house not only so intricate and well made but in such great condition.

It makes me think of Beatrix Potter and The Tale of Two Bad Mice, and my mum has her original Triang doll's house she was given as a child in the 1940's. Glad you are saving it!

What a sweet little house. My neighborhood library growing up had a giant furnished doll house behind a glass cabinet for people to look at. I loved going and sitting on the floor in front of it and dreaming about getting to play with it 🥰

I don’t think I have seen you so excited about any one piece you have found! It’s truly wonderful! Can’t you just think what child or children had this and what fun they had! I had a small doll house but my parents were never into saving old things so who knows what happened to it! My paternal Grandmother gave me my love of things from past eras and I am most appreciative! I got her huge solid wood mahogany sleigh bed that I will never give up!

Oh man Scott, this is going to be such an awesome journey. The coolest thing is knowing that this is actually a dollhouse from that era and not one from now that has been made to look old 😊.

I was thinking you might just find the front porch in that mouse nest. Lol…..😂 This doll house is really cool!

Does anybody else remember Colleen Moore's Castle? 30's silent actress. Think many of these era dollhouses were inspired by the dollhouse she built.🤩

Glad you can slip into your deco era world for hours on end with this beauty...

Oh goodness Scott that’s a delightful old house that will keep you occupied & quiet for quite a while. I look forward to your sympathetic restoration.

You are such a tease. You have furnished rooms already, down to andirons and umbrella. Even little lamps. Pretty cool and fun it is.

What a childhood-dream coming true, without any plastic! 😆

Scott it's beautiful so many tiny pieces of doll house history. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!

Wonderful to watch! I have the dollhouse my grandfather built for my mother and her sister in the 1940s, and though it does not have the detail yours does, I will treasure it always! 😍

I’m just in absolute awe. Almost overwhelming 😔. And bless the little mice who made a cozy home too. I’ve always been curious to look into crawl spaces! This one really delivered the goods!!🙌🏻♥️🐩

OMG! Even an old phone, and an umbrella, and things to put on the mantel. You have truly found treasure. You’ve also found a lot of work to do, and it’s going to be such fun watching you do it.

Your house is simply adorable and is going to be so cozy. I would love to drink a cup of coffee at that table. Looking so forward to upcoming episodes. I love everything about it.

super excited to see this all cleaned up floors cleaned , carpet vacuumed, wood polished..windows washed lol drapes up, lights working ,porch up ..more furnishings, maybe some bedding lol ..fully restored..the furniture in there now and the throw rugs .are so fabulous,.that little green elephant, that master bed!!!! ..it's all so amazing..can't wait to see it all done. Thank you for saving it .

That is a beautiful Dollhouse! I would love to see it decorated with the 1920's-30's Christmas Decor. That would be Awesome!!. Thank You Scott, :)

Oh my goodness how fascinating!! I think that it's amazing. Acorns and all and the furniture is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the renewal process! Now that little doll in the bathtub is just washing her feet after running barefoot playing outside so it's okay she is dressed and in the tub!

You can feel the love that went into creating this.

This hobbyist was extremely creative and resourceful. It will be a challenge that you are up to overcome and restore this lovely little Tudor home. The lighting fixtures are extremely unusual to see, this will be so interesting to see you work on and make it livable once again. Scott, you have been chosen and now you will shine.

This was the playlist that got me hooked on TOCS. Cannot wait till the restoration resumes..so excited.😊

Good Morning Scott , The Dollhouse renovation is heartwarming and fascinating . The little titles are an easy find craft stores carry them . Thank you This is My Kind of Good Fun 🧡 Mr. and Mrs Mouse will find a new house for sure . ☺️

This is just the most fascinating restoration I've ever seen. Good with hands we use to say back in the day. Double entendre aside. Good for you, my friend.

Wow, loved how the furniture just made each room seem so real. I can just imagine how much more spectacular with lights etc.

Fascinating. I applaud your music choices.

I am so glad you have this dollhouse now you will do it justice. I am along for the adventure!

Truly amazing. As you went room to room, I could not help but think about the lovely little girl who received this treasure and the hours that she played with it. Wish they somehow had pictures of her and her grandpa. Absolutely wonderful!

I love the living room the furniture is beautiful .

Yay!!! Can't wait to see how you restore this amazing dollhouse. 🥰 🏠 👍 Scott, you need include a tiny mouse too. 🐀 LOL 😆

What a splendid dollhouse. Such careful details. I’m glad it’s in your hands to give it a proper restoration, not renovation. All the furniture and accessories takes it up another level. I’m thoroughly enjoying this series. Thanks

Dear Scott, Just so emotional, I'm thinking of how much love was put into creating this truly work of "love". Sitting here in NJ, with eyes filling up with tears. With the furniture pieces in place, the home became illuminated; I envisioned that little child receiving this wonderful house. Can see her jumping up and down, and then kissing her dad/grandpa with tenderness. Thank you for finding this and bless your hands as they embark on taking the time to restore it. May you have the patience to see it completed. Jersey Ann from NJ

Love it love it love it! This dollhouse is such a labor of love for the original maker. Now that it's in your hands Scott I know that you will have the same passion as you restore it. Looking forward to seeing the progress! 🙂

Beautiful workmanship on the house and furniture. Scott you did a great house tour. I felt like I was walking through the house! Its wonderful to see the details of each piece of furniture. Can't wait for the follow up videos! Thanks so much for sharing!❤

I loved this! Seeing it up close was wonderful. The Schoenhut bathroom pieces look like they're from the 1931 style. You could buy them from Sears, Roebuck back then for 60 or 70 cents per room. I love the green settle! I have a lot of doll house books, and a great reference is the Schiffer book by Dian Zillner: American Dollhouses and Furniture From the 20th century. I'd be happy to send it to you. The living room chair is really cool, I don't think I've ever seen one like it! And didn't I see an old wireless radio set? And the wallpaper! I had to laugh at the old mouse nest - they had a great set up under there, and enjoyed sharing the amenities with the dolls! It's like a children's story book by Rumer Godden where the mice are part of the family. I really envy you getting to restore it, and seeing all the details and old, old furniture. I can't wait for Part 2, 3, 4 etc!

This house is beautiful, even in its unrestored condition. And the furniture is just incredible! Thank you for sharing this~

That child was so loved! I enjoyed this immensely, I am imagining her delight on receiving this doll house. Scott, thank you for this content, it is fascinating.

Scott, this doll house adventure you are taking us on is incredible! We watched in pure delight as you revealed each room. The radios, Bible, umbrella, and the items on the hearth. Amazing amazing……. Thank you!

Try looking at mosaic tiles for your replacement tiles they look to be that size.

I wish you could find the history of the house and who built it. I love it so much

That's such a beautiful old house. I somehow missed seeing this. It's got great bones. My hubby's grandpa handmade a dollhouse for his mom, for a Christmas gift, when she was little. It is one story and is accessed by removing the folding roof. He electrified it with tiny lights too. (Even has glass windows that go up and down, hinged doors, and a working doorbell). His five sisters played with it, at their house, growing up. Then it went back to his grandpa's guest room for the grandkids. When the estate was settled, no one wanted it because it was pretty hammered. We took it and stored it for over 15 years until our youngest daughter wanted to play with it. So we cleaned it up and made a few repairs. She became obsessed with it and played almost exclusively with it, using her littlest Pet Shop animals. She loved it so much, that she has it stored for her kids someday. A few years back, her grandmother tried to take it back, to give to another cousin to play with. It ruffled a few feathers because we had to say no to grandma, my hubby's sister, and young niece. We knew that it wouldn't come back to us because grandma had "promised" it to the neice and that she could keep it. (Without checking with us first). Dollhouses definitely have personalities and the people that love them, can have strong attachments to them. Thanks for the delightul tour. So many creative touches were put into your dollhouse. Truĺy amazing!

What a wonderful house! I have several houses, some antique, and a small collection of Strombecker furniture. I can't wait to follow your progress on this gem!

You have to have some really good karma to find the original furniture, unbelievable. I have never seen a doll house that old? Many times the metal or occasionally wood dollhouses after WWII. I was terrified you were going to use the shop vac on the stucco? I could see the stucco flying off? Daughter had dollhouse built from kit for her and I did all the finishing. I worked on it for years: wallpaper, stained the floors, put stairs together and major job was laying wood shingle tiles on roof and round tower in Victorian design of house. I spent a small fortune on furniture, a grand piano, etc. I don't have your talent to wire house but piece de resistance is Christmas tree with battery miniature lights. Looking forward to restoration.

That canopy bed is fantastic!!

This dollhouse keeps getting better & better! So happy to see the old furniture in it. What a wonderful project to be able to work on!🏠

It's spectacular! I cannot WAIT to watch the transformation!

Wow, you are lucky to have all that furniture with the accessories. It is quite the snapshot in time.

That radio! Oh my! I had no idea you had so much furniture, and the RADIO ! I can’t get over it! Fibber McGee and Molly! Let’s sit around the fire and listen.

Love this house. The little person who was on the receiving end of this was so loved. I truly feel the love that went into the making of this home. I myself love doll houses and have made several. My favorite pieces are the baby dolls. How sweet they are. I am so happy someone saved this treasure by storing it in a safe place. I know you will restore it to its original beauty. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Ahhhhh!!!!! Scott!!!! INCREDIBLE is not enough!!!! This is pure JOY to see!!!! My imagination is running wild... Did a kind grandfather make this for a special little girl?...a Loving Daddy for his daughter?... A sweet husband for his wife?... And the planning and thought that went along...OH this "old girl" is young again!!! And it was meant for YOU to find it and love it back to life!!! I look forward to more of this🏘 Thanks for a pleasant coffee break 👵💖🍂🍃🍁

It’s amazing to me that just the right person was there to rescue this beautiful doll house. That being you of course. I am always so impressed to see the love, work and patience someone had for this project from the get go. I can’t wait to see the finished project. I know you will honor the original builder perfectly.

Love this❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is an incredibly awesome project, Scott!!!! I'm so glad you're the one who purchase this amazing dollhouse! I'm mesmerized by this video! Thank you for showing us the restoration as it unfolds💖💖💖

It would be so interesting to know who built the house and whether it was the child's family member or was built by someone who did them for a living.

That house is stunning and well built. They definitely don't make them like that anymore! I love dollhouses from back in the day. I am literally living in a house that looks like a doll house. It was built in 1916 which for the southwestern united states is old. Who ever the owners where, took such amazing care of my house. All the wood floors are all original except the kitchen. I can't believe the owners let this house go. I love it, it all had a fire place and wood stoves in every room! It's a large house a little big for my small family but I love this house.

Scott thank you so much for sharing this process with us. You do everything so lovingly and with such care, that it truly is a joy to watch. Also thanks for the shot of you in the garage with those great coffee cans in the background. Brought back some great memories of me being with my father out in his workshop in Lancaster. He always had dozens of old coffee cans that held nuts, bolts, nails and whatnot - seeing yours behind you brought a smile to my face! Can't wait for Part 2!! Hope you have a great day xo

What a journey this will be! Thank you for taking us with you. Although I have never dealt in miniatures, it is appealing.

OMG Love it❤Thank you so much for taking us along on this journey with you Scott.. The candlestick telephone, fire irons, radio, etc., is awesome!! 🥰

Wonderful little house. Can't wait to see it all spruced up Scott!

Amazing the detail 13:00 I could not imagine how much this would cost New!! 😍 love the filming at the end and the music great job

My great uncle used a string of outdoor Christmas lights to light my Barbie house he built in the early 70s. He also cut up my grandma's new cookie sheet to make the kitchen sink and counter top. All the furniture was made by Uncle Bob and my mother, sometimes from scratch and sometimes from repurposed household objects. They couldn't come up with a bathtub so just graced a Fig Newton tray with several coats of white gloss spray paint!

So fascinating!

Man that was some trippy music during the house tour. Kept thinking a mouse going to come into the frame and wonder what you were doing in his house.

This is so amazing! My papa was a talented woodworker. Most of the furniture in my house was built by him, beds, dressers, hope chest, toy box, cradle, vanity table, cabinets, baby doll furniture. I will never have all new furniture because I could never part with anything he made for me haha! When I was a child he built a dollhouse for me, similar to the size of yours. It's nearly 40 years old now. My first daughter who is now grown played with it for many years. Now I have a 4 year old (surprise baby :) ) who is begging for an LOL house or barbie house, plastic junk. She doesn't yet see the magic of my old dollhouse handmade with sturdy wood and love because it is very old and outdated and well loved from years and years of play. So now I am on a journey trying to figure out how to remodel it to make it more appealing to her. I need to take out and replace all of the wallpaper, carpet, all of the molding, also need to redo all of the windows, very overwhelming to someone with no experience with this stuff. Hoping my papa passed on some of his skills to me. So glad I found your channel. Hopefully I can pick up some tips and tricks while watching your restoration. I would love to know the history of this house, I am pretty certain it was made with love for someone very special!

Wonderful! So glad that you were the one to find it. I know that it is in good hands with you and that you will give it the love it deserves!

Beautifully made dollhouse. I can't wait to see your progress. Please keep us in the loop. I would've died and gone to heaven if I'd have found this house, but I don't have room for any more 😕.

Oh cool I hope you make this a little series I have three doll houses I have one under a bed that’s not put together at all I have one that’s put together in a closet that I haven’t touched because on my “craft table” I have one that I have been working on for 152 years well it seems like 152 years!

I am happy you have all that furniture, dolls and decorations. That make the house even more special. You have something to do the Winter.

Wouldn’t it be grand if you could speak to the builders of this doll house. In my mind, I can see a Mom & Dad planning and executing this project for Christmas for their beloved daughters. So much landing and detail here it was truly built with great live. Wouldn’t it gave been a special Christmas morning when the girls Rand down the stairs and found what Santa had left for them. I just wish the family had valued thus treasure and had kept it in their family. But it’s great that it’s in your hands Scott because you’ll do a fantastic job with it.

Double stick Velcro fasteners can be cut to adhere to the medicine cabinet and tile wall

What a fun and fascinating project. The attention to detail is amazing, a true labor of love. You are definitely the person to bring this back to life 🏠
