Geocache Description:

The container is big enough to hold only the log. Bring your own pen. Please carefully put back container so it is out of sight when finished.

The cache location is across the street from what is known as the Gingerbread House which is located at 8220 Narrows Avenue and 83rd Street.

The AIA Guide to NYC calls it "a mansion disguised as a witch's hideaway" with "bumpety stone and pseudothatchery."

It was constructed by J. Sarsfield Kennedy from 1916-1917.He was also the designer for the Prospect Park Picnic House and the Fort Hamilton Park War Memorial in Bay Ridge.
