    Dwight James Baum designed this Medieval Revival house, built in 1929-30 for William Hagedorn, president of the coal suppliers Hagedorn Bros., Inc. The house, on the corner of West 246th Street and Livingston Avenue, sits partly on a rock outcropping. Its marks are a solid fieldstone base, patterned brick, and a circular fieldstone corner tower capped by a conical clay-tile roof and finial. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found it largely intact, noting a newer skylight on the east roof slope and a glass greenhouse on the west side.
