    Benjamin L. Winchell builds a house for his daughter beside his own at 4651

    Benjamin L. Winchell, a vice-president at the Kerite Insulated Wire & Cloth Company, owned the house next door at 4651 Fieldston Road by 1922. That year he had this house built on the adjacent lot for his daughter to designs by Dwight James Baum. It is unusually sited, with its main front facing south rather than toward Fieldston Road and a garage at grade beneath the house, and the landmarks commission found it remarkably intact.

    “Winchell also developed a house on the adjacent property at 4655 Fieldston Road for his daughter in 1922.”
