Frances Glessner Lee (March 25, 1878 – Jan. 27, 1962) a chicago native was a millionaire heiress. Her an her brother were homeschooled but she was not allowed to attend college. It wasn't until she was 52 before she took steps to starting her career path. Revolutionizing the study of crime scene investigation, She founded and funded Harvard's department of legal medicine. ( The first program in the nation for forensic pathology ).
Glessner was a fan of the Sherlock Holmes series and her perfectionism can be reflected in her family upbringing. Her father was a collector of fine furniture and antiques, and the family home is now a museum.
Known as " The Nutshell Studies of the Unexplained ", in the 1930's Glessner created dollhouses in replica of homicides to help detectives in training. Before DNA, and CSI we had dollhouses. These surreal like homes had doll corpses as victims and blood stains in great and gory details. Glessner would go to extreme lengths to insinuate realisticness which has proven to be effective till this day.
The documentary " Of dolls and murder " explores the 16 nutshell diaroma studies still in museums and CSI detective seminars today. Modern day forensics built on a 1 inch to 1 foot scale, check out more of this tiny world of big time murder at ofdollsandmurder.com

THEY CALLED IT the Doll’s House, and it was a beautiful Georgian building that was at one time home to a City Sheriff.

Where was it? On the corner of Bachelor’s quay and Grattan Street in Cork city, until it was demolished on 18 July 1966 due to being deemed to be unsafe.

As Cork Past and Present tells us, attempts were made to save the original beautiful house:

The last owners of the house, which was by then in a state of disrepair, had offered the house to the Irish Georgian Society and Cork Corporation for the nominal rent of one shilling per year. Both bodies refused the offer as the cost of restoring the house was estimated at £30,000, an enormous sum of money in those days.

Bachelor’s Quay was widened after the house was demolished
