A modest home stood among Manhattan towers and drew a huge crowd.
America's Little House opened on Park Avenue in 1934 as a model home, complete with a lawn and white fence. Surrounded by tall buildings, its eight rooms showed ideas for ordinary family living. Some 166,000 people visited before it closed in 1935.
Amid skyscrapers, the small house stood out.
