Dwight James Baum, one of Fieldston's busiest architects, designed this house for Elizabeth C. Malady, and it was built in 1921-22. Narrow clapboards framed by carved corner quoins cover the walls, and a projecting portico shelters a paneled wood door with a fanlight. A slate gable roof with overhanging eaves and a prominent brick chimney tops the house.

Between 2003 and 2005 a three-story addition was built at the back of this 1921-22 Colonial Revival house. Michael Goldblum was the architect and David Tavar the owner. The clapboarded extension on the west side has its own secondary entrance and a shallow sloping roof, and the landmarks commission still found the house largely intact.
