Located across the street from the bus depot, it is possible to go from New York City's Port Authority, straight to the store! This is true from parts of Long Island, NY, as well, where bus service is available straight upstate to Kingston. Pretty much, if you can get to the Kingston bus depot, its across the street. There's also parking on both sides of the building if you drive there.

Although the store is fairly small in size, it is home to hundreds of dolls on display. The store is absolutely gorgeous. The building looks like an older historic building, which is something that Kingston, NY is famous for. You feel like you've stepped back in time to an old fashioned doll house. Everything is clean, coordinated and every doll is posed. You can actually touch the doll and the fabric of their clothes. This is really important, because after seeing and feeling these dolls in person, we walked out with FOUR dolls and a wishlist of about 30!!!!

Its totally worth the trip! Robert Tonner is a true artist and a GENIUS! His work is something that you must see to believe. His dolls make even the most collectible Barbie doll look like a toy. They are worth every penny. If you haven't gotten familiar with Tonner dolls, start now.

We visited the store twice in February. The second time to meet Robert Tonner himself, which is when we took these photos. The store was pretty crowded and so the photos were rushed and some of them might be a little blurry. Still, this is not a catalog, its just to give you an idea of the great stuff we saw.

The store is located at: 14 Hurley Ave. Kingston, NY (845)339 - 2960

The store can be accessed by wheelchair or scooter from the back door. I don't know that I'd have gotten into the main room with my scooter, however. But events held in the back room would be accessible and the bathroom looked accessible, as well.

On these gallery pages, generated by Photoshop, the left and right arrows go forward and back and the center arrow, brings you back to the page with all the thumbnails. There are 4 pages of photos! Enjoy.
