le.doll.house Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Can anyone identify this house? Is it from a kit or does it look like a custom build? I seen it online (not for sale) and in love... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiemae Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It looks like a RGT townhouse. Top floor modified? A discontinued model? Maybe the roof line was altered so it would fit into the RL house? I have several sets of purchased plans for barbie size houses. Someone will probably know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If you look up the San Francisco Victorian by Superlative Doll Houses, I believe that is exactly what this is. Just missing its' front spindles and balcony over the door. I believe another member just re-did one of these into a ballet studio not too long ago. If you search the gallery for that it should come up for you. It is "discontinued" as the company no longer exists, but I have been seeing them come up a bit more than normal over the last 6 months or so... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockawayRose Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yes it is the San Franciscan Townhouse by Superlative Dollhouses from about 1980. I'm the one who did the ballet studio rehab: http://rockawayrosedollhouse.blogspot.com/2015/12/rehabbed-san-franscisco-townhouse.html and if you check my postings I recently heard from the daughter of the designer. It's a great house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great house. I feel in love with the house but after reading your posts about the house and finding nothing online about it I gave up getting one. But this today... something almost as good popped up. (See below) I'm going tomorrow to get it. I'm excited. I still have hopes of finding one like yours but am happy with this one too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Rosie, that looks to be by the same company with those front spindles! Have to say I'm liking the look of this one you're getting just as much, and can't wait to see what you do with it! Many congratulations on your turn of good fortune! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is too. I am not crazy about that little window down at the bottom... I would of liked maybe more bay windows but I'm excited to have found it... and can't wait to get it... it also comes with 53 pieces of furniture! I recognize some of the furniture and I think it's much smaller than 1/12 so I probably won't use most of it... but who doesn't love a box full of miniatures ☺ I am so excited I can't sleep.

minikelli Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Do you have any pictures of the side? I'm thinking if you wanted another bay window if you keep an eye out on Ebay or Etsy there are some awesome bay window kits by Carlson Miniatures which you could add to the dollhouse depending on the height of the house and where the bay above is. I bought one to add to the side of the McKinley I'm doing for my niece. May be an option to really make the house into what you want it to be...

fov Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Maybe put a pretty French door downstairs in place of that window? A lot of San Francisco row houses have a separate entrance leading to a downstairs apartment in that area. (Or a garage door, but it's not wide enough for that.)

RockawayRose Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 That is great and probably is another Superlative Dollhouse. Congrats!!!! I've pretty much decided to keep mine, every time there is a nibble to buy it I am very distressed :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
