Welcome to the Keating Dollhouse website! The Keating Dollhouse is a very special gravestone monument located in St. Joseph New Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio. The dollhouse was created by John and Michael Keating around the 1870’s for their late children. Both Michael and John were skilled stone carvers in the Cincinnati area, following in the footsteps of their stone carver father, Edward Keating, and their oldest brother, Nicholas Keating. The dollhouse monument is located on a Keating family plot at the cemetery, at which 17 family members are buried, including eight children. The Keating Dollhouse has touched many individuals, including descendants of the Keating brothers and visitors to St. Joe’s cemetery. It is now approximately 150 years old, and in need of restoration. This website chronicles the Keating family, the Keating brothers who built the dollhouse, and other details and mysteries of the dollhouse itself. We have raised money for the restoration from family and other generous friends of the dollhouse. This website explores the history of the dollhouse. We will add additional history on the dollhouse and progress on the work performed during its ongoing restoration. Thank you for visiting!
