John Keating was a stonemason, devoted to his children and his neice. Sadly, all three children died in the decade between 1868 and 1878. To commemorate their young lives, Keating carved a dollhouse for their graves. Supposedly, the house, whose interior can be seen through the windows, at one time contained doll furniture.
