{"product_id":"jamaica-estates-carl-ballenas-9781531647643","title":"Jamaica Estates","description":"The Jamaica Estates community evolved with the advent of the 20th century. The verdant hills north of the colonial village of Jamaica were blanketed with forests of deciduous trees and dotted with crystal clear glacial lakes. The area's country beauty and tranquility offered people an escape from the congestion of the crowded city. As the Queensborough Bridge neared completion in 1907, two wealthy real estate speculators, Ernestus Gulick and Felix Isman, envisioned a unique community. Together they imagined a residential park offering people the ability to have homes in an area of breathtaking country beauty while working in the city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Ballenas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531647642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531647643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Carl Ballenas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124577497343,"sku":"9781531647643","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1305a92d-3505-4b63-96a5-658e7e93a357.jpg?v=1687437602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jamaica-estates-carl-ballenas-9781531647643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
