Architecture for Dolls’ Houses (Paperback) by Joyce Percival (Author). There is a brief chapter on dollhouse construction, but the book will chiefly interest needleworkers, artists, and the modelers of miniatures, who will find this a valuable source of design.
From Library Journal
Not a book of dollhouse projects, this is an illustrated reference of English architectural styles and elements for use by dollhouse makers. Additionally, it will be useful to crafters of miniature houses in other media.
Color photographs, floor plans, construction diagrams, and lovely color renderings fill the chapters containing period styles, roof and wall materials, and drainage and sanitation arrangements.
