It looks like it popped off the pages of Dwell Magazine.

And an extra room on my real house for all my toys?
I know this is a bit of a cheater tutorial. Offering only plans, and not even original plans at that... ( Sunset Books, 1973)
But if there is a chance that just one person might make this dollhouse, and might send me photos so I can live vicariously...it is worth my questionable blog habits.
Until that time, Please do forgive me.
Your Devoted Playmate,
Betty

Oh I would love love love that doll house!
When you get it can I come over to play? I LOVE this!
In the late 1950s/early 1960s, Sunset magazine would publish a doll house plan in their section of Christmas gifts to make. I have two issues with these doll houses. They are super mod and cool. One is a revolving octagonal house.
Vesapabelle,
My grandfather made me the revolving octagonal house. I still own it, with all the furnishings! It's pretty fabulous...
My grandfather made me the revolving octagonal house. My grandmother made most of the furnishings. Complete w gold fish pond, hanging fireplace, 1959. Just got it down from the garage to "refurbish" for my grandchildren. Best memory of childhood, can't wait to pass it on.
