The Figures and Dolls of The Mansion on O Street

The dining room
The Mansion on O Street is a restaurant/hotel/museum/ antique shop housed in an 1890s-era Washington, DC row house.  My husband and I went there for brunch a couple of weeks ago, and then toured the building, the main selling features of which are the 700 hidden passages, the extensive collection of music memorabilia, and the fact that aside from some of the core music displays, everything in the building is for sale.

Among the antiques, books and guitars, there were a fair number of dolls and figures - ranging from $10 recent action figures to $4800 antique dolls.  I thought it might be fun to share some of the toys from the tour (it's all photos from here):
