Custom-made dollhouse
Tickets are on sale until December 1 for a custom-made dollhouse that comes with furnishings for every room. All proceeds will go toward renovations of the Pierce House per donor request. The dollhouse measures 34” high x 41” wide plus two side porches. Click on an image below for a larger version:
Donor Barbara Frentz “Bobbie” Kurson was a custom interior designer and decorator who lived in Concord. She commissioned the Pierce House replica doll house and decorated it with beautiful doll house furniture. It was donated to the Pierce House by her daughters, one of whom (Robin Frentz Isaacs) lives in Lincoln. Overall, it’s in great shape but may require tender loving care and is raffled as is. The dollhouse will be on display at the Paws for the Holidays event at the Pierce House on Sunday, Nov. 11 and in the Lincoln Public Library from November 20–29.
Tickets ($10 each or three for $25) can be purchased at the Pierce House or online, or email nancy@piercehouse.com. The drawing will take place at the Pierce House on Saturday, Dec. 1 at 2 p.m. The purchaser need not be present to win but must pick up the dollhouse within 15 days (the Pierce House is not responsible for delivery or shipping).
