    Built in 1925-26 (NB 1026-1925) for the Lamose Corp., this corner house at West 245th Street was designed by Thiesen & Schwartz under the Fieldston Property Owners Association's strict design rules. It has whitewashed stucco walls over terra-cotta block, a steep gabled roof with jerkinheads, multi-pane steel casements and a front patio walled in fieldstone. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found it remarkably intact.

    “…designed by the architectural firm Thiesen & Schwartz and built in 1925-26 for the Lamose Corp.”
