John P. Bay House
2024 Binney Street
1887
Architect: George L. Fisher
Queen Anne Style
Designated Omaha Landmark: March 17, 1981
This house is located in Kountze Place, an early upper middle class residential suburb developed by banker Herman Kountze.
John P. Bay, the original owner of the house, was a co-founder of the Crystal Ice Company, a business established to fill a demand for ice by the railroads, breweries and packing houses.
Later the house was owned by Thomas A. Fry, one of the original organizers of Ak-Sar-Ben in 1895.
The Bay House is a good example of the Queen Anne Style of architecture that was popular at the end of the nineteenth century.
