Built between 1928 and 1930, the 10-foot (3.0 m) tall Dutch Colonial house is part of a play complex conceived by Florence Shaw, supervisor of teacher training at Shepherd College. The stone walled, slate-roofed cottage measures 10 feet (3.0 m) long and 9.6 feet (2.9 m) deep. It is equipped with electric power and a working fireplace, and is fully furnished. The house is located on the edge of the Shepherd Campus along Town Run. The play complex includes a small barn on the other side of Town Run.[1]
