Happening today: Carson City Historical Society to reveal 50-year-old Adele's doll house replica
Time to reminisce about Adele’s. For Carson City residents just that one word can summon memories of a special holiday meal, or where you went after graduation or the site of a wedding proposal or a cozy evening with friends, supplied with yummy appetizers and a glass of wine.
And the Carson City Historical Society is going to provide the perfect aid, a dollhouse replica of Adele’s, given to the Carson City Historical Society by Diane Bertram of Washington State.
The unfinished dollhouse was given to her by her husband. They met and both worked at “Porter’s Music Box,” as teenagers. The Music Box later to become “Adele’s.” He had a replica dollhouse made for her from the 1870’s blueprints. The gift remained in the box for 50 years until now. Diane wanted to bring the Adele’s doll house back home to Carson City where it belongs.
The public is invited to the reveal of the Adele’s doll house replica. It came to us unfinished and is being finished by Jim DiMagistris of Woodworking Specialties.
The big reveal is happening today, Sunday, Nov. 6, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Carriage House, 1207 North Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada (behind the Foreman-Roberts House). The reveal is free and open to the public. There will be a “cash bar” from the “Vintage Tap Trailer” weather permitting and refreshments.
