This view of children's toys in the Healy House State Museum, on the northwest corner of Harrison Avenue and East Tenth Street in Leadville, Colorado, includes a small brass doll bed, an ornate metal "Buck's" stove with pots and five dolls on a wooden table with a broken drawer. The three story wood frame building was built by August R. Meyer and became the First Methodist Episcopal Church parsonage, then the home of Patrick A. and Ellen Healy Kelly who transferred ownership to her brother, Daniel Healy. Later, his cousin Nellie occupied the house and then donated it to the Leadville Historical Association. It was restored by the National Youth Administration in 1938 and was presented to the State Historical Society in 1947.
