    This house went up in 1940 under new-building permit 405-1940, with architect P. Duncan designing it for its first owner, Dr. W. Findlay. The wood-frame house is faced in fieldstone, with a two-story section meeting a 1 1/2-story wing in a T-shaped plan under hipped roofs and two large stone chimneys. A boxy first-story oriel and an aluminum-and-glass entry pavilion were added later, but the Landmarks Preservation Commission judged the house largely intact.
