The Rooms base is a 5-room house with no outside walls....a design that was later used again in the late 1970's for the #929 Nursery. The set includes furniture for each room: kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and porch, and a family of 4, plus a dog. The set was also sold with a handy draw-string bag to store all of the accessories into.
