Barbie's houses, a subject in and of itself

Barbie changes houses about as often as she changes clothes.  Here is a list of what was in the Christmas catalogs for Sears, JC Penney and Montgomery Ward for 1962 to 1999.  I am listing only the residences, not the cases (even the ones with beds), or the businesses she owned, or any of the furniture.  There are numerous color combinations for the Townhouse but I am listing only what was pictured in the catalog.
