1959
A brick and stone raised ranch by N.J. Colosi is completed on Indian Road
Designed by N.J. Colosi under a 1957 permit (NB 263-1957), this house was finished in 1959 as a raised ranch of one story plus a basement, faced in brick and stone. About 35 years later it was rebuilt almost beyond recognition.

1994
Owner Michael Shapiro has the 1959 ranch rebuilt as a larger stucco and stone house
Starting in 1994 and running to 1997, architect Thomas Gibson redesigned and greatly expanded the ranch house for owner Michael Shapiro. It grew to two and a half stories over a basement with a one-story west wing, clad in cement stucco with ashlar stone veneer, and gabled bays flank a recessed entrance. The Landmarks Preservation Commission described it in 2006 as completely different in appearance from the original.
“Formerly a one-story-plus-basement raised ranch with brick and stone facades, this house was redesigned and significantly expanded from 1994 to 1997.”
