Under new-building permit NB 495-1923, architect Julius Gregory designed this two-and-a-half-story house for its original owner, Robert M. Haig. The wood frame is coated with stucco and fieldstone, and the lot slopes down toward the rear of the house. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found no major alterations when it surveyed the house.

American Architect magazine features the house of professor Robert M. Haig
In April 1925 the journal American Architect published the house under the title "House of Robert M. Haig, Riverdale, NY." Haig, the first owner, was a professor, and he lived here until at least 1934. Julius Gregory's design, with intersecting gables, shed dormers, casement windows and a large fieldstone-and-brick chimney, is cited as an excellent example of Fieldston's Medieval-inspired houses.
“Its first owner, Robert M. Haig, was a professor who lived in the house until at least 1934. ... American Architect, April, 1925.”
