    Dwight James Baum designed this T-shaped house, built in 1928 for Albert E. Wheeler, the developer and engineer behind Fieldston, through the A.E. Wheeler Corp. Stucco-covered buttresses, steep slate gables and a massive fieldstone chimney mark it as Medieval Revival. Its north, south and east sides look much alike, so no one front reads as the main facade. The Landmarks Preservation Commission called it remarkably intact.

    “…designed by architect Dwight James Baum and built in 1928 for developer and engineer Albert E. Wheeler…”
