Bennett Insurance Group Presents: Arizona Doll & Toy Museum

This small museum is located in the historic Stevens House on Heritage Square in downtown Phoenix. The miniature classroom peopled by doll students is a favorite exhibit. With dolls dating from the 19th century, this is a definite must for doll collectors.

The Stevens House was built in 1901 by Constance Stevens, a widow and clerk in the local retail business known as the “New York Store.” This one-story red brick house was typical of the Midwestern influence and replaced the sun-dried adobe brick that had been used earlier. Of architectural interest is its unique roof system, an irregular belled hipped roof and double pyramidal roof over a projecting bay that raised the entire roof above the attic level 16 inches to allow space for air circulation.

The Arizona Doll & Toy Museum occupies the Stevens Bungalow. It is filled with a wide variety of dolls and toys from yesterday as well as contemporary playthings and furnished doll houses. One room has been refurbished to reflect a turn of the century one room school house complete with antique dolls as “students.” The museum has a gift shop stocked with unusual items for children and adults.
