In the Times, a piece about the Pumpkin House, which juts out over cliffs above the Hudson at 186th Street. I've sometimes wondered at it while walking along the river. The nickname is an imaginative one considering its oblong shape; it looks as if it were built expecting to be abutted by a row of such houses that never materialized.

Kudos to the Times for going to what must have been considerable effort getting photos of the building at all the angles seen in the article and the slide show.
