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. A similar arrangement is made with the second section of the scrapbook; rooms are labeled in ms. at the top of the page, with mounted color and black and white images. Some of the rooms included in this section are: Front Yard, Parlor, Living Rooming, Pantry, and Bedroom. Several magazine clippings from 1924 and 1925 are laid in at the beginning of this section. There are several loose images.
