    Architects Hall & Paufve designed this wood-frame house, built in 1953 for Daniel Brown. It went up after the Fieldston Property Owners Association had loosened design rules that once favored traditional styles. The house is clad in wood shingles over a fieldstone foundation, with a ground-level garage and gabled dormers.
