I think most of mine lived in-- you know how they sold books of paper dolls? Nana stapled the two short sides together, and everything lived in there. Of course, they lived at Nana's house, too, so there was always something to play with when we visited. I had a fancy set of Victorian ones when I got a little older-- I think second bustle period but I won't swear to anything besides 'bustle' at this point.
