Marx Hometown Series

Marx made the Hometown series in the 1930s.  These were similar to the Newlywed rooms, but featured stores and town buildings.  There were eight scenes total, including a department store, drug store, grocery store, bank, meat market, police station, fire station, and movie theater.  I do not own the fire station or theater, but the rest are shown below.  The walls and floors are beautifully detailed. You will probably notice that not all of my furniture pieces are original.







I display these with the Newlywed rooms in our Ikea CD tower.  Since we live in Queens, I decided to make an apartment building.


Up next: my Dunham's Cocoanut house!
