    Dwight James Baum, whom the Landmarks Preservation Commission calls a prolific Fieldston architect, designed this 2-1/2-story house for John Updegrove, and it was built in 1920-22 under permit NB 234-1920. Updegrove had ties to the U.S. Department of Justice; the commission's report gives his middle initial as C. in one place and D. in another. Whitewashed stucco walls rise from a steep, terraced lot with rock outcroppings, and the symmetrical front centers on a three-bay arcade with recessed casements under a low clay-tile hipped roof.

    “…designed by the prolific Fieldston architect Dwight James Baum and built in 1920-22 for owner John D. Updegrove ... Updegrove was associated with the United States Department of Justice.”
