Lorraine O’Connor’s Doll House 1960s

“Typical of Irish 60’s built houses. After 43 years I’m looking forward to handing a piece of my own childhood history over into the safe hands of the Museum of Childhood Ireland.

 An amazing dolls house complete with individual pieces of wooden furniture, handmade by my dad, Tom and decorated in detail by my mother, Irene. “

Bungalow Bliss, Jack Fitzsimons.
