Owner Samuel Cohen adds a roof dormer to a postwar stone and brick house
This one-and-a-half-story house, faced partly in cut stone and partly in running-bond brick, dates to about 1947-53; the Landmarks report lists its original owner or developer as Katherine E. Williamson or CMM Holding Corp. In 1959 owner Samuel Cohen added a dormer to its roof under permit ALT 1162-1959, with William Fierstein as engineer.

David and Sharon Moerdler-Green enlarge the dormer with architect Michael Goldblum
In 2003 the house's owners, David and Sharon Moerdler-Green, had architect Michael Goldblum expand the roof dormer first added in 1959 by Samuel Cohen. Today that slate-faced dormer spans five bays of the south roof slope, with a two-over-two double-hung window in each.
