The architectural details and room furnishings reflected the styles of the time. The buildings were designed to be easily assembled and disassembled by children.
I have read that many of these houses were built as replicas of actual homes and were marketed though Life Magazine in the 1930s as a selling tool for the magazine's house plans.
In the mid to late 1930s the dollhouses, with dozens of pieces of furniture could be purchased for a dollar or two. This would have made them attractive to Depression era parents, who could no longer afford expensive toys.
