Mystery House

New York Public Library - Digital Gallery. (click on photo to enlarge).



This house looked familiar, but I have to confess that I had to put some concentrated brain power to work to figure out where I had seen it. . It's still around, so where is it? No cheating if you know already.

  4. The house on Spring Park ave. you're referring to is the Kinraide house - read the story here:

  5. You refer to the Storey place. I am writing a piece of fiction about a mansion we lived in (quasi hippies) in 1970 that the Storeys supposedly lived in -- Victorian, at 226 Perkins I believe. There was also the castle on the property, as well as a place with white columns. They then were turned into condos.

    This house is not the same house where we lived. Can you clarify the Storey family piece?

    Thanks.
