Halley, Jr. Its V-shaped plan turns on a round, cone-roofed corner tower containing the front door, which is recessed deep under a segmental arch at the corner of Grosvenor Avenue and West 246th Street.

2003
The house's original brick walls disappear under tinted stucco
In 2003-04 the original brick facades of this 1935 Norman Revival house were covered over with pigmented cement stucco. The Landmarks Preservation Commission accordingly described it as an altered example of the style when it designated the Fieldston Historic District, though the corner tower, slate roofs and copper gutters remained.
“The original brick work was covered with pigmented cement stucco in 2003-04.”
