    Attorney Percival Wilds builds a gambrel-roofed Colonial Revival house designed by Dwight James Baum

    Dwight James Baum, one of Fieldston's busiest architects, designed this clapboard Colonial Revival house, built in 1923 under permit NB 622-1923 for the lawyer Percival Wilds. Its features include a flared slate gambrel roof, a gabled portico on square columns, leaded-glass sidelights at the entrance and six-over-six windows. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2006 report judged it remarkably intact.

    “…designed by prolific Fieldston architect Dwight James Baum and built in 1923 for Percival Wilds, an attorney…”
