    Dr. Joseph Lintz, a physician and surgeon who kept his office in Manhattan, had this house built in 1927-28 to plans by Renwick, Aspinwall & Guard. It went up under the strict design rules of the Fieldston Property Owners Association. Its round entrance tower with a conical roof, clay-tile roofs, half-timbering and fieldstone chimney base survive with little change, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission called it remarkably intact.

    Shirley R. Guard becomes a partner in the firm that designed this house

    Shirley R. Guard started as a draftsman with Renwick, Aspinwall & Tucker in 1915 and had risen to architect there by 1916-17. In 1928 he became a partner in the firm, by then called Renwick, Aspinwall & Guard, and remained one at least through 1940. The Landmarks Preservation Commission credits the firm with one Fieldston house, the Tudor Revival design here at 4684 Grosvenor Avenue.
