1926
Engineer Walter M. Keenan has a house built on Indian Road, designed by the firm he works with
This Fieldston house went up between 1923 and 1926 under new-building permit NB 1480-1925 for Walter M. Keenan, a mechanical engineer. Keenan worked with Thomas E. Murray, Inc., and the Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2006 Fieldston report credits that same company with the design of his home, which also carries a Livingston Avenue address.

1996
A mid-1990s rebuilding leaves Keenan's 1920s house almost unrecognizable
Around 1993 to 1996, owners John and Annette Fitzgerald had the house greatly enlarged and redesigned by Robert Kahn Associates. The result is a two-story tan brick house with a gabled two-story portico, slate hipped roofs and a garage wing topped by a balustraded roof terrace. When Fieldston became a historic district in 2006, the Landmarks Preservation Commission noted that it no longer looked much like the original house.
“It was significantly enlarged and redesigned in the mid-1990s, and now bears little resemblance to its original appearance.”
