1926
Baum gives the Norman Revival house a round stone tower with a conical roof
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey of Fieldston's picturesque houses cites this one, dated 1926 and designed by Dwight James Baum, as a large Norman Revival variation on the Medieval style. Faced partly in stone and partly in stucco, it has a complex mass under several hipped roofs. A rounded stone tower with a conical cap holds the front door and a window three stories tall filled with small-paned casements.
