Today, we are visiting one of the upstairs bedroom Today, we are visiting one of the upstairs bedrooms in the #dollhouse. There is a small piece of needlework next to the fireplace. It is made with very tiny stitches and shows a woman flying a kite next to a house. Have you visited the #dollhouse @danahalllibrary yet? #MiniatureMondays #Archives #welcometothedollhouse
Lila Mayoral Wirshing was born in Ponce, Puerto Ri Lila Mayoral Wirshing was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico in 1942. She started @DanaHallSchool in 1957 for her sophomore year and would have graduated with the #Classof1960, but left after her junior year to marry Rafael Hernández Colón. In 1973, Lila Mayoral became the youngest first lady of Puerto Rico when her husband was elected the youngest governor of Puerto Rico. Rafael Hernández Colón served three terms as governor (1973-1977 and 1985-1993). In between terms, Lila Mayoral continued her education and graduated in 1983 from the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón (University of the Sacred Heart) in San Juan with a degree in business administration. As first lady, Lila Mayoral dedicated herself to helping her community and focused her efforts on many issues including accessible daycare centers and schools, deforestation, disaster relief, anti-drug education and AIDs prevention. She was beloved and respected for her commitment to improving the quality of life for all Puerto Ricans. When Lila Mayoral died in 2003 at the age of 61, three days of mourning were observed in Puerto Rico and flags were flown at half mast at government agencies in both the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Have you visited the #dollhouse @danahallibrary? Have you visited the #dollhouse @danahallibrary? The dollhouse, modeled after the real “Swan House” located in England, was owned by Dana Hall alumna Dorothy Verne Johnson Henry #Classof1948 and donated in 2015. The nine-room dollhouse features many intricate custom details and pieces, some of which Henry commissioned to fit her vision for the house. The dollhouse even has working lights! Today, we are stopping in the dollhouse’s library. Inside you can find a miniature globe that sits atop a small side table. The globe can be spun around to show a perfectly to-scale world map. #MiniatureMondays #Archives #welcometothedollhouse
