Letter from Mrs. August Ryan dated May 6, 1986 states; "The house was made by August R. Ryan for a Christmas (1941) gift for his daughter, Nancy. She was too young at the time to appreciate a dollhouse. Later at age 6 she did enjoy it. I had purchased the walnut furniture, room by room, for the planned dollhouse and the house was made to fit the scale of the furniture. Odd pieces were added later as I saw them in toy stores."Collection
