2008 Gingerbread House Contest Winners

Here at This Old House, we're big fans of DIY builders. But little did we know that the tools of the trade—band saws, wood rasps, belt sanders, Dremels—could be used to build dessert! When we asked you to show us your holiday creations, the skills, historical knowledge, and ingenuity you exhibited were truly impressive. From tree house to Victorian manse, here, selected by our editors and readers, are the winners of our first-ever This Old Gingerbread House contest.
