A Buildings Department filing starts the remaking of the 1956 ranch house
On November 5, 1999, a Buildings Department job was filed to remake the 1956 ranch house, followed by a second filing on July 11, 2000. With Avi and Lea Schwager as owners and Dov Havas as architect, it grew into a two-story house of stone, stucco and tan brick with round-headed windows and transoms. Landmarks staff wrote that it now looks little like the original.
