Julius Gregory designed this house for James J. Bergen, and it was built in 1929-30 under the Fieldston Property Owners Association's strict guidelines. The first story has fieldstone bearing walls, while the overhanging second story is whitewashed stucco with half timbers. Slate hips and gables, leaded-glass casements and massive fieldstone chimneys complete it, and the landmarks commission judged it remarkably intact.

Banker and Bronx Democratic leader Max J. Schneider owns the house
In the early 1950s this house belonged to Max J. Schneider, a vice president of the Chemical Bank and Trust Company. Schneider was also vice president of the Bronx County Democratic Committee and served as a delegate to five Democratic National Conventions. The landmarks commission's report draws on a New York Times item of September 18, 1952.
