I'd also recommend the "Museum of Minatures" in Los Angeles, a commercial
museum operated by Carole Kaye.  It's on Wilshire Blvd. across from the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art and they have a Web site as well.

Subject: Miniature House


Hello,

Does anyone know anything about miniature houses and/or anyone who collects
them? We have something called the Arizona Miniature House that was
constructed in 1981. It was designed by architect William H. Richardson and
built by Peter Westscott, with interiors designed by 10 members of the
Arizona North Chapter of ASID. It is 6 1/2 feet square and is in need of
some repair, but it is complete with all its furnishings. Apparently the
donor tried unsuccessfully to sell it before giving it to our museum. I
don't know why anyone here agreed to consider it as a gift, but the signed
paperwork is on file, so someone must have thought it was a good idea. We
don't have room for it, and it does not fit our mission. We would like to
see that it finds a good home, but we're not sure where to start. Any ideas?

Thanks.
Katherine Child
