    Harrie T. Lindenberg designed the house and T.H. Frazer built it; it was finished in 1915 for its first owner, George D. Strayer, a professor at Columbia University's Teachers College. It draws on medieval models, with slate gable roofs, shed and gabled dormers, grouped wooden casement windows, walls of fieldstone and stucco, and stucco chimneys topped with clay pots. A one-story garage wing on the west has a flat roof used as a terrace, reached by a door from the house.
