The whole thing is cardboard, so complete ones in good shape are pretty rare. Still, these only cost about $30.
I want my front door to look like that!
Doesn't this look like a Domino spread? *sniffle!* Check out the open top record player. We had one of those - and there are record albums with real titles, and books, and little cardboard pillows. All of the furniture is folded and put together.
here's a longer view - Love the pink interior of Barbie's closet - and that picture on the wall.
Here's a closer look. Cool huh?
Looking for more info, I ran across this great little essay on the subject of the early Dream House - check it out.

Don't hate me but I had the Barbie house with the elevator (though I remember it being called the Barbie Town House, as the Dream House was something even more decadent). It was seriously one of the highlights of my childhood and my sister and I played with it for years and year.
My grandparents had this, some of the furniture was missing but I loved it!
I had both. The Dream House was given to me as a hand me down from my older brother's girlfriend. I wanted to really live IN it. My mother got me the Town House with elevator (spending more money then she probably could back then) when I was older and just about the age of outgrowing Barbie's so didn't get as much use out of it.
Thanks for posting the pictures because it is something I'd wish I still had.
I got this for Christmas one year. I loved it.
I had this Barbie house. Loved playing with it as a kid. Of course, I am still kicking myself when I gave it away. Still have my Barbie dolls, Midge and Ken from the early 60’s.
I received that house as a Christmas present in the day. Loved it for years, wish I still had it. Thanks for posting
