Samuel Roth finishes a Mid-Twentieth-Century Modern house for Gregory Grinn
Built under New Building permit 584 of 1951 and completed in 1952, this two-story house by Samuel Roth was designed for original owner Gregory Grinn, a name the Landmarks report suggests may be Grimm. Fieldstone and wood siding cover its frame, its eaves overhang deeply, and its second-floor windows carry polygonal transoms cut to follow the slope of the roof.
