The artistic style of Jones influenced Alison M. Jones's engagement in conservation photography. Describing her father's role in her work in The Hunterdon Review, Alison Jones stated, "My father, Winthrop H. Jones, was an architect and painter who constantly framed the world for me. He taught me to see details and graphic forms without my ever really knowing what was happening. It wasn't until I was in my forties that I realized that I had a natural sense of composition and a need to capture the way I saw the world". Jones also influenced the architectural career of New Jersey architect Susan Rochelle.
