    The architectural firm McKim, Mead & White designed this stucco-covered frame house, built in 1920-21 under permit NB36-1921 for Mrs. Gilbert N. McMillan. Its main front faces south, away from Delafield Avenue, with Tuscan columns, multi-pane wood windows and a gambrel roof with flared eaves; a garage wing sits on the south side. By 2006 one roof dormer appeared to have been widened, but the Landmarks Preservation Commission judged the house largely intact.
