Catalogue Note: Thomas Russell (English/American, b. 1794) is the maker of this miniature house. His note and photograph inside detail his life and his granddaughter for which this was made as a memento, it follows with a poem about the house. The note reads: "This cottage was erected in the year of our Lord 1869 expressively a memento for Miss Lerina Wodley by Grandpa Russell in his seventy-sixth year. He was born in old England March 14, 1794, and immigrated with his family to America 1832. Then entered the unbroken forest in Ohio where he still remains. Though almost past work and blind with one eye. I built this for a remembrance.
1. I hope it will be well received / and used with careful hands / not suffered to be broken up / but kept left upon the stand.
2. In after years the truthing child / may ask the mother thus / who made this little baby house / and fetched it here to us
3. Then say poor grandpa when alive / he worked with tools so near / he built this little baby house / and gave it to us complete.
Thomas Russell in the 76th year of his age."
Condition
Very good condition overall, some small pieces broken/repaired, others possibly old replacements, most notably one of the back brick-style piers is missing.
