Architect Theodore R. Feinberg designed this two-story clapboard house for Harold Robins, built in 1953 under permit NB 183-1953. The house also carries a Delafield Avenue address, and its basement garage opens on that side, while the main front faces Iselin Avenue. A wrought-iron letter R is fixed to the south face of its brick chimney, and the landmarks report lists no historical style for the design.

1965
Harold Robins has architect Robert Press enlarge his house to the north and west
Twelve years after it was built, original owner Harold Robins had the house extended on its north and west sides, with Robert Press as architect. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2006 Fieldston report says the 1965 work expanded the house considerably. That expansion was the first of two major additions recorded for the property.

In 2002 the house grew again when owner Daniel Rosenbaum hired architect Warren Meister to extend it on the north side. The work followed the 1965 addition by Robert Press. Four years later the house was included in the Fieldston Historic District, whose report lists both additions among its major alterations.
