Modern Concept, Historic Roots: The Jakes House

“We spent 21 years on Maney Avenue, and absolutely loved living downtown,” Bill Jakes shared. “And tried to be part of the movement to promote downtown. I served on MainStreet’s board for eight years, as well as other various boards and commissions downtown. To be able to leave there, we knew it was going to take something special.”
