    Leonard Crohn was the original owner of this house, built in 1946-48 to designs by Julius Gregory, an architect with many houses in Fieldston. It is a wood frame faced in brick laid in Flemish bond, with double-hung wood windows, paneled shutters and slate gable roofs. The Landmarks Preservation Commission called its restraint characteristic of neo-Colonial houses from just after World War II.

    “…displays a restrained aesthetic sensibility typical of neo-Colonial architecture dating from the years immediately following World War II.”
