Where’s Golidlocks?
Welcome to the “Gingerbread House.”
Officially known as the Howard E. and Jessie Jones House, it was built in 1916 and is one of the last vestiges of rich, old mansion Bay Ridge.
These pictures do not do this place justice. First, it is huge. I mean, huge by suburban standards and therefore simply ginormous by urban standards. I can’t even fathom how the owners can pay the taxes on it, the lot it’s on has to be a couple of acres.
The house is an absolute marvel. It looks so at home in its setting, the roof mimics the gentle hills of the surrounding area and the stones blend perfectly with the beautiful old trees surrounding it.
