The Doll Hospital
Spring, TX – Although dolls may seem similar at first glance, there are vast variations between every manufactured miniature. Whether it is the type of composition they were crafted from, the era in which they were built or how they have been cared for in their lives, each doll tells its own story.
No one knows that better than Mary Ann Pizzolato, who has restored hundreds of dolls since she opened The Doll Hospital in Old Town Spring in 1986.
“Dolls always have been a reflection of society around them at that time, and if you look at how they were dressed, what they were made of, it will tell a story,” Pizzolato said. “Every doll that comes in has its own story. And if they don’t have one that [clients] know of, we create one for them from this day forward.”
