    Dr. George W. Wyeth commissioned this house at 4919 Goodridge Avenue in 1914 from Dwight James Baum, a prolific Fieldston architect. Baum clad the wood frame in fieldstone and clapboards under a flared gambrel roof with fieldstone chimneys, and gave it a paneled door framed by a leaded-glass fanlight and multi-pane sidelights. A one-story porch sits on the south side.

    “…designed by prolific Fieldston architect Dwight James Baum and built in 1914 for Dr. George W. Wyeth…”

    A salesman and then a Fifth Avenue import-export merchant own the Wyeth house in the 1920s

    In the early 1920s the house belonged to Thomas R. Arden, a salesman. By the end of the decade its owner was Armin Degener, who ran an import and export business on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The Landmarks Preservation Commission cited New York Times items from June 3 and December 6, 1923 for the house's history.

    Dr. Henry Nunberg turns the attached garage into a doctor's office

    The house's original attached garage was converted into a doctor's office in 1968-69 under an alteration permit filed by the owner, Dr. Henry Nunberg. The architect for the conversion was Martin L. Fish. Apart from this change, the Landmarks Preservation Commission judged the house to be largely intact.
