Under new-building permit NB 226-1922, architect Dwight James Baum drew up this two-story house for Dr. William R. Williams. It is a wood-frame building finished in tinted cement stucco, set on a sloping, terraced lot with fieldstone retaining walls and rock outcroppings. A one-story garage in the same style went up alongside it at the same time.

Dr. William R. Williams still owns the house Baum designed for him
Dr. William R. Williams, the original owner for whom Dwight James Baum designed this house in 1922, still owned it in 1934. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's report on the Fieldston Historic District gives 1934 as the latest year his ownership is recorded.
“Architect Dwight James Baum designed the house for Dr. William R. Williams, who owned it until at least 1934.”
