Completed in 1928 to designs by F.E. Gribben, this Tudor Revival house sits on a sloping, rocky lot at West 250th Street and Iselin Avenue. It rises from a fieldstone basement to stuccoed walls with false half-timbering, two gabled oriels, and a slate jerkinhead roof. Most original window sash has been replaced, but the Landmarks report found the house substantially intact.
