    BUILT RITE TOY HOUSE #9 1930s-40s Toy House
    I don't have a parts list , so I can't be 100% sure of total , but I did try assembly and everything seemed to be there.
    Its a three sided house.
    Made by Warren Paper Products, Lafayette IN
    Box is in excellent condition.
    There is a rip on the surface of the floor - see pix
    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.
