This invention relates to doll or toy houses. ing tongues and said slits permitting engage Such houses as are now marketed are largely ment of the end members by the wall of the of Wood and too expensive for families of slit and forming an eave upon insertion in ordinary means. The object of the invenslits 18 in each of the end walls. The floor 5 tion is to provide a toy house of small cost member is provided with a stair-way open- 55 and of such construction of parts that they ing at 19.

The invention is embodied in the example 'The second floor portion is formed in one herein shown and described, the features of piece with the front roof portion 20 and a rear W novelty being finally claimed. roof portion 21 bent to fit over the ridge at In the accompanying drawings theltop and form an interlocking eave when 6 Figure 1 illustrates in perspective the ends assembled.

latter provided with suitable openings for windows and doors.
The stairway from the first to the second story is formed of two pieces of sheet metal each bent as shown at 36, Fig. 7 to form the treads and risers. One of these stair pieces is secured to extend from the first floor to the landing piece ll and the other from said landing piece to the second floor, the two stair pieces being separated from each other by a narrow vertical piece at closing in one side of the stairway pieces.
35 designates an arch member taped in position to form a kitchen alcove.
The part 33 can be held in vertical position closed against the partitions and end walls to form the rear wall of the first floor of the house by narrow gummed strips (not shown).
. The front portion 32 is left free to swing outward to permit access to the first floor, but can be ten'iporarily fastened under the cave of the roof to close the front of the house. The rear portion 22 is also left free to swing upward to permit access to the second floor. Said rear portion can have means for temporarily or permanently securing it in closed position if desired. But the said movable portions 32 and 22 are desirably left so as to afford access to the two floors forthe placing and changing the position of toy furniture, dolls etc. in the house. Of particular importance is the fact that these two hinged pieces are short and do not interfere with the play value of the house while at the same time are attached to the house so that they cannot be lost. This particular construction gives access to both floors and at the same time meets these worthwhile requirements.
The several walls can be decorated in any suitable and attractive manner, as for example, by printing on the pieces half timbering and brick work, as shown in imitation of the Jacobean mode.
As first suggested the walls, partitions and floors can all be made ofcorrugated paper board which is cheap, very light in weight but strong. The construction of the parts is such that they are locked tightly together so that the house can be moved about and withstand a great deal of rough handling without injury or destruction.
The forms, proportions and decorations of the parts can be changed without departing from the gist of the invention as claimed.
What I claim is:
1. In a toy house, a slanting roof portion cut to form the front of a dormer, said house having partitions intermediate its end walls, said partitions having portions extended through the roof to form the sides of said dormer.

3. A toy house having end walls and an intermediate partition, a first floor member having a wall portion formed therewith, a second story floor member having roof portions formed therewith, one of which roof portions has a wall portion attached thereto, said second story floor member adapted to engage the intermediate partition and end wall and rest on a wall port-ion of the first 'floor member, and stair members extending from said first floor member to the floor above, and a distinct partition piece secured between said stair members.
4. A toy house having end walls and an intermediate partition, a first floor member having a wall portion formed therewith, a second story fioor member having roof por tions formed therewith, one of which roof portions has a wall portion attached thereto, saidsecond story floor member adapted to engage the intermediate partition and end wall and rest on a wall portion of the first floor member and stair members and landing extending from saidfloor member to the floor above, and a CllStlECi partition piece secured between said stair members.
