1928
Julius Gregory gives the Spencer house fieldstone, whitewashed stucco and slate
Built under New Building permit 2609 of 1927, the house is Medieval Revival: a fieldstone and whitewashed-stucco shell, intersecting slate gable roofs with flared eaves, and many-paned casement windows. Its main facade looks north over the pond in Delafield Park, with the front door behind a round-headed arch ringed in radiating fieldstone and two three-sided oriels at the second floor.
