The Heydt Mugler Co., Inc. put up this house in 1929 (NB 262-1929) to designs by W. Stanwood Phillips, a prolific Fieldston architect. Members of the Heydt family lived in it until the late 1940s. Perched atop a steep, terraced slope above Waldo Avenue, it shows Tudor touches in its half-timbering, textured walls, picturesque roofline and massive multi-flued brick chimney on a fieldstone base. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found only minor exterior changes over the years.
