    A Tudor Revival house of fieldstone and stucco goes up on Fieldston Road, its architect unknown

    Neither the architect nor the first owner of 5021 Fieldston Road has been identified; the Landmarks Preservation Commission dates the house only to about 1922-27, the years when Fieldston was filling with picturesque homes. Built of fieldstone and cement stucco on a raised lot, it has a Tudor-arched entry with a batten door, leaded casement windows and a big chimney, and the commission found it remarkably intact when it designated the Fieldston Historic District.

    “Thus Tudor Revival style house was built between 1922 and 1927 by an undetermined architect and owner…”
