When i first got into this thing, I had no idea how truly huge it was. I've begun
each year wondering whether I'd find enough houses to go on, but it's into ten years,
now, and they just keep turning up. There seems to be no end to the variety of
these things! There can be no doubt they were immensely popular in their day,
and a larger part of the American Christmas than anybody knew.
On these pages will appear the most
stunning, the largest, the most unusual and rare examples. Submissions of photos
from your collection are heartily invited, - your chance to share - and to
extend the body of knowledge for everyone!
I'll be starting with a few
from my own collection, and after that I invite you to send me .jpgs of your
finest along with whatever story is behind them. We'll include your name or
leave it out , as you desire.
Note that in -2003- "House of the Month" was reformatted into the
separate years. The original continuous format was simply growing so large that
it took too long to load for those of us still using simple dial-up internet
connections .. and we are still LEGION.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE:
The houses shown on these pages are NOT
FOR SALE. This not a catalogue,
but an online MUSEUM and history for the delight and edification of the
empassioned. We only sell a selection of reproduction doors and windows for
replacing originals so often torn or lost. (See our "Reproduction Parts"
section.)
Please E-MAIL ME - if you have something exceptional that you would like to share
with us on these pages. Everyone is always on the search for that which has not been
seen before! Digital photos can be e-mailed easily.
