Newport, Rhode Island, USA. My children made a playhouse from large cardboard boxes or with blankets over some chairs. The Vanderbilt children has a two room playhouse, with heat, fully furnished, a scale model of the original Breakers house, that burned a few years before the large mansion, aka 'summer cottage', was built. In addition to the furniture and toys, a nanny oversaw the activities and could ring the butler in the main house to bring snacks to the children. Enjoy!
