One scrapbook entitled House in a Book, created by Marian B. Healey, ca. 1900 and ca. 1930. The scrapbook is divided roughly into two sections. The first is approximately 64 pages in length and created ca. 1900, followed by 54 blank pages and the second section, which is comprised of 78 pages of scrapbook images, created ca. 1930. The two scrapbook sections begin at each end; the (presumably) first set of images ca. 1900 begin at one end, and when the book is flipped over, the images ca. 1930 begin at the beginning of that end. "Marian B. Healey, "House in a book", I made this up around the age of 10 years old" is written in ms., in ink, on the front flyleaf of the first scrapbook section. An unnumbered ms. index of the following pages is written on the third page. The scrapbook pages are labeled in ms. with titles such as "Piazza", "Parlor", "Library", "Kitchen", "Pantry", "Store Room", and "Back Yard." The images are both black and white and chromolithographs.
