    Filed in 1922 under permit NB 2721-1922 and finished in 1924, this house was built for Edwin Wasser, president and treasurer of the cotton goods firm Edwin Wasser, Inc., at 104 Fifth Avenue. Its architect was Clarence S. Stein, whom the Landmarks Preservation Commission calls a renowned architect and garden cities proponent. The walls are broken rangework fieldstone; the main door has a surround of fluted pilasters under a concave copper roof, and a slate gable roof over the main block meets a slate jerkinhead roof over the north wing.
