Little is known about the lady who last owned this house. Her name was Mrs Walter Tate and the house is named after her.

Obviously Mrs Tate spent all her money on this house & didn't have enough left for the accessories....as they are sadly out of scale!
Interesting to see that back then one didn't need lots of real life clothing or rooms full of furniture. I'd have hated to be the kitchen help in that dh. Nothing worse than rolling pastry out on the floor for lack of tables

No wonder the ladies of the house are so skinny, they must have used all their energy lifting anything its all so large

Not like my house will be with everything perfect
