Architect Manoug Everjian designed this house for Aram Kazenjian, and it was built in 1921-22 (NB 1735-1921). The report's architects' appendix lists him as Manoug Exerjian (1892-1967), born in Turkey and a 1914 graduate of the Royal School of Architecture in Istanbul, who opened his own office in Great Neck, Long Island, in 1923. The wood-frame house is faced with fieldstone and stucco under slate hips and gables. An arched stone portico shelters the entrance and a prominent fieldstone chimney rises from the roof.
