    Edward C. Delafield developed this Craftsman house in 1911-12 under permit NB 422-1911, to designs by the firm Mann & MacNeille. The Landmarks Preservation Commission counts it among the first houses that members of the Delafield family put up in Fieldston. Its main front faces south rather than toward Waldo Avenue, with a fieldstone base and a second story that projects on brackets, and the commission judged the house remarkably intact.

    “…built in 1911-12 by Edward C. Delafield as one of the first houses developed in Fieldston by members of the Delafield family…”
