A Keystone of Boston dollhouse from 1938-39
But she is very happy with her modern dining room furniture.
It seems like I use this floor paper in all of my houses.
The spreads, pillows and curtain
all came from different Ebay sellers.
The kitchen window has a curtain printed on the interior side. Keystone printed shades on the interior sides of their earlier 1935 dollhouses.
in Keystone's 1938-39 catalog.

A 1934 Schoenhut Dollhouse
This dollhouse was produced in 1934, the last year of production for the A. Schoenhut Company of Philadelphia, Pennsalvania. It has suffered some water damage, is missing the chimney, and was missing the door and two windows when it arrived. I will get around to making a chimney one day. I made the door....and then installed it the wrong way, that's why the door knob is on the right side. I "borrowed" two windows from the side of another small Schoenhut, because in my Dollhouse Village, having front windows is more important than having side windows!
This illustration of the entire page might explain why. Notice that all of the houses are facing left. It is possible that the graphic designer flipped the image to create a more visually pleasing composition.
The house has 5 rooms....two bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room and living room. No bathroom, and no outhouse in sight.
