Built between 1925 and 1927 for Allandine and M. Thomas Lash, this house was designed by the architect Frank Forster. It sits below street level on a steep lot, with a solid fieldstone front, a steeply pitched roof and a massive fieldstone chimney. The Landmarks Preservation Commission called it a Medieval Revival design and found it remarkably intact.
