I live in Chicago, and am fascinated by this Castle, and am so proud it is in the Museum!

A lifelong fan of dolls and doll houses, she commissioned this elaborate tiny house in 1928, for a total cost of nearly $500,000-in 2019 money, it's estimated to be worth $7 million. By 1935, approximately 100 craftspeople had worked on the Fairy Castle, according to the museum. No detail was too small to include

The tree with the baby in it isn't quite as I remember it, though the last time I saw it is some 65 years ago.
