The Art Deco dolls house plans I found in an article in the January 1937 Popular Mechanics magazine. There is enough detail in the article to make one, so I made a Sketchup model. 

I have also made a complete set of plans with enough information to build this model of an Art Deco doll house,

Art Deco doll house

Here is an example of the Art Deco dolls house I found on rebeccascollections.blogspot.com. According to Rebecca it is featured in a book Dolls' Houses in Australia 1870-1950 published by Historic Houses Trust of N.S.W. The book is available in the Sydney library.

Sold on eBay some time ago, this appears to have been built from the same dolls house plans.

I have found a few references to plans for sale, sometimes on eBay, but somehow I suspect they are copies of the original article from the Popular Mechanics article published on January 1937.

This one I found on Pinterest. Using image search, I have found this image on a few blogs, and most of them refer to each other, so I am not sure who it actually belongs to.

Vintage Plans Popular Mechanics Magazine

Victorian Doll House

From an article I found in the December 1976 issue. Two enchanting dollhouses you can build.

Overall dimensions are 34 x 20 x 46 inches high.

The article is an advertisement for plans you can buy, so the article is limited in detail. I had the idea that I could make a SketchUp model based on the article.

Here is the address you can write to:

Popular Mechanics, Home and Shop Dept. Box 1014 Radio City Station, New York NY 10019.

This was the days before the internet, so who knows if the address is still valid. On the other hand, there should be no reason why it wouldn't be.

Another SketchUp Doll House Model

An open side dolls house inspired by an old magazine.

View the model in the Sketchup app where you can extract the cutting list for the parts. Simply play the scene tabs.
