About this postcard

A playroom holds miniature furniture: a four-poster bed, a cradle, a table, and several chairs. A large doll in a ruffled dress stands near the bed, and another doll's head peeks from a chair. The room is in the James F. D. Lanier State Memorial in Madison, Indiana, the 1844 Greek Revival mansion of banker James F. D. Lanier. The house is a state historic site, preserving the domestic world of a prosperous Ohio River town.
