The doll house was carved out of 36,000 pieces of wood, primarily rosewood and Indian mahogany. The exterior also consists of miniature bricks and mortar. The floors are pieces of straw pieced together into a mosiac pattern. The doll house is 71 inches high, 48 inches wide and 36 inches deep and weighs about 300 pounds. Varga, standing at right next to the doll house, smiles proudly as his work product is admired by U.S. Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin, at left closest to the doll house, and White House Congressional Liaison staff members Bill Cable and Dan Tate. The William Penn Association is proud of Mr. Varga’s artistic work.
