8200 Narrows Avenue
J. Sarsfield Kennedy, 1916–17
New York City Individual Landmark

Known to locals as the “Gingerbread House,” this is one of the city’s most fanciful examples of the Arts and Crafts movement. Its architect later designed the Picnic House in Prospect Park. Built for shipping magnate Howard E. Jones, the house features rustic boulders and a simulated thatch roof that lend it a distinctive country aesthetic described in the AIA Guide to New York City as “Black Forest Art Nouveau.”
