About

The house was built for Jean and Inez Bregant, who were respectively 45 and 42 inches tall. The couple worked as sales and promotional representatives for the nationally-popular Woodward Candy factory. Dubbed "The Doll House," the interior of their home was specially designed to accommodate the physical stature of its occupants. The fireplace mantle is to other people about waist-high. The china cabinet, light switches, doorknobs, windows, bathtub, thermostat and other features were also scaled to meet their needs.

The tour includes a 12 minute video about how the couple met at Coney Island's Midget City, a look at the use of "little people" in advertising at that time, and a brief history of the Woodward Candy Factory.
Allow 25-30 minutes for the tour and video.
