Sunnyside

Sunnyside was a playhouse built in the 1890s for James Sprunt's daughter Marion. It was fitted with furniture to scale and had several rooms, including formal dining room and a kitchen, complete with real china and silver flatware. Marion Sprunt only enjoyed her playhouse for a short time, dying in 1901 at the age of thirteen after contracting scarlet fever.
