In this view looking down the staircase, you can see that the banister also runs almost the full length of this part of the hall. At the end, past the small cabinet and lamplight, there is a huge  closet that runs very deep as well as  the entire width of the hall and the staircase combined. It is interesting that the door to the closet was painted on the exterior but the inside of the door has never been more than white washed. We consider it one of the quirks of the old house. The door to this closet in the miniature was done the same way... painted on the outside and white washed inside.
The master bedroom is a bright and cheery room. The mantle actually goes around the corner of the chimney wall. It once served as a mantle over a small round candle stove that held only one log standing up on end. The burning of this single log was sufficient to warm the bedroom before retiring at night. A hand crocheted blanket is folded at the foot of the bed. Because of the placements of the home's two front chimneys, there are several rooms with these cozy nooks and crannies that help to make the house so charming. This room is located over the west living room.
Still in the master bedroom, please note that the door to this room, like all of the doors in the house, is built as old doors were with tongue and groove fitting and separate panels with elaborate molding.  In this photograph you can see the hall lighting fixture that is a smaller version of the fixture in the downstairs hall.
The master bedroom has a love seat under the eaves. If you enlarge the photograph, you will see a sewing basket with spools of thread on the floor and an embroidery hoop with a work in progress on the footstool.
This view shows the open clothes closet that is built into the space  between the chimney and the knee wall.. On the opposite wall there is a short closet built into the eaves that serves as a storage space for shoes, handbags and men's ties. In the dollhouse, it holds a table-top sewing machine.
The other front bedroom is used as a second storey sitting room for the Anderson family because they refuse to have a TV set on the first floor of their home. As you can see, an additional twelve feet of bookcases takes up a good portion of one wall in this room. All of the floors on this level of the house are random width pine. Surprisingly, for a cape, the ceilings on the second floor are  8 feet 6 inches in height. The house is actually one and a half storeys tall with the knee walls measuring three feet in height.
You can see the mantle piece on the wall to the right, behind which is another nook with a six over six window and a small library table. The picture over the mantle is a copy of one at the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida. It is called "Ruby Green Sings." Mrs. Anderson's father played in the orchestra when the singer made her New York City debut in the 1920s. He always said that her high bell like tones reminded him of "the song of a nightingale."
The guest room is a favorite because it is quite large (almost square)  and has beautiful wallpaper. There is a dormer window on the wall opposite the door and where one of the opening roof panels is located in the dollhouse. Under this window there are  two large built-in drawers. The small bit of hall you can see through the door to the right is the only part of the dollhouse that is not accessible for play. It houses a built-in floor to ceiling bookcase that nestles next to the chimney wall for the center chimney. You can see the small mantle over the table with lamp. This room also had a small stove in it before central heating was installed in the  house. The central chimney is directly behind this portion of the wall.
The slightly open door is to the closet, a rather roomy affair with shelves on the left side and a clothing bar in the middle and to the right.  In the previous photograph there is a fancy dress laid out on one of the beds waiting to be worn to a party. The matching hat is on the dresser and a gaily wrapped gift can be seen "ready to go" on the table.
Another view shows a woman's felt hat on one of the twin bed's footboard. Hats were frequently placed this way to avoid ruining the fragile feathers used in ladies' nineteenth century bonnets.
This view is of the edge of the bookcase in the hallway between the bathroom and the guest room.  As stated before, it is the only place in the dollhouse that can not be used for play as it is not easily reached.
The small but important "birthing room", a feature of many historic houses, has been converted to a computer room. What would the original inhabitants think of such a device? It is a very small room with just enough space for a single bed for the pregnant mother,  a wooden chair for the mid-wife and a washstand for which the husband kept bringing up boiling water from the kitchen below. Many years ago it housed a very  narrow and extremely steep staircase that ran down to the southwest corner of the kitchen.
The upstairs bathroom is a large room with  beautiful old porcelain fixtures. Over the wash stand with pitcher in the foreground is another  dormer window. The toilet is located in an ell to the left that uses the space created by the shoe closet in the master bedroom.  The odd tilting white piece in the left foreground is the top of the built in closets that hold sets of  towels and bath mats. Needless to say, when the roof is lowered, you can not see this part. If you were standing in the doorway looking into the room,  you would see only the three doors that open into the linen closet spaces below and the dormer widow with a wooden cabinet beneath it. The space between the sconces houses a medicine chest with an etched mirror on its door that has not as yet been made.
Here is the small ell where the toilet can be found. Next to it are two closets with shelves to hold extra rolls of toilet paper, boxes of tissues, a shoe polishing kit and cleaning supplies on the bottom half. The upper portion has room to store some beach towels, bathing caps and other supplies for summer outings.
