When Mrs. Fisher started constructing the miniature rooms: The Original Six Rooms
Mrs. Fisher began collecting and creating dollhouses in 1947. What began as a recreational hobby became a decades long artistic endeavor as she carefully built the rooms by one inch to the foot with the intention of creating a panorama of American life from the eighteenth century to the present (which was the 1950s).

The original six rooms Mrs. Fisher created were the following:
Victorian Living Room
Game Room

Penthouse

The second installments for the Dollhouse were done in 1953 just before Mrs. Fisher's traveling exhibition tour. She added an Antique Store and Colonial Bedroom.

The Last Installments were for the Early American Kitchen and the Gothic Library, making a total of 10 dollhouse rooms each bestowed with its own individual personality and interest.
