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).
