    Architect Paul B. La Velle finished this house at 5022 Fieldston Road in 1929 for Vincent Gates, an administrator at DeWitt Clinton High School. It has a big chimney of fieldstone and brick, casement windows with battened wood shutters, false half-timbering on the side facing Fieldston Road, and slate-covered gable roofs with overhanging eaves. Like its neighbors, it had to meet the strict design rules of the Fieldston Property Owners Association, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission found it substantially intact.
