The E.J. & E.F. Construction Co. developed this brick house in 1928-29 to plans by architect James J. Tynan Jr., during the years when Fieldston homes had to meet the strict design rules of its property owners' association. The Landmarks Preservation Commission calls it an excellent Federal Revival example, citing its large entrance portico with sidelights and fanlight, flat-arched windows, and pitched slate roof with dormers.

Between 2001 and 2003 the architects Berg & Forster enlarged the house for owner A. Wiener, and the sloping, terraced lot with its fieldstone retaining walls and steps was relandscaped. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2006 report found that the original 1920s portion of the house still survives largely intact despite the expansion.
