I figured I'd start out with a couple pictures of the entire Smiley house before beginning our renovation. Other than cleaning and some touching up, we are not really going to do much to the exterior, but it is a great house and in good solid shape. I spoke with Carol, the owner, briefly yesterday for a few details about its history. She recalled that it was built from a kit about 25-30 years ago, but could not remember the manufacturer. She began interior finishing, but was unable to complete the work. It remained in its unfinished state for the past 20+ years, but she is giving the completed and refurbished dollhouse to her granddaughter Becky.
