The drawings give every detail and measurement necessary for the making of these stairs, and everything will work out correctly if the directions are closely followed.
Fig. 64. A Colonial Doll-House.
The Front Steps are made as shown in [Fig. 76]. Cut out two balustrades the shape and size shown in the drawing. Then prepare two stringers of five steps, cutting them exactly the same as for the other stairs, and glue them to the inner faces of the balustrades. The treads and risers are the same as for the other stairs, except that they are four inches in length. Cut the top platform two and one-half inches wide.
The Rear Steps may be built similar to the front, or may be made simpler by leaving off the risers and balustrade.
The Ends of the House should measure twenty inches square. Fasten the boards together with battens at top and bottom, and hinge them to the rear wall (see [plans] and [Fig. 64]). Small hooks on the ends of the house will make it possible to fasten them shut.
