Neighbors take over a half-built house after its first owner dies
William J. McMahon hired Burnett V. Vickers in 1955 to design a house on the southwest corner where West 254th Street meets Sycamore Avenue, on land that had belonged to the Henry L. Stone estate, but McMahon died before it was finished. Edward and Gabrielle de Vegvar, who lived next door in the converted 1901 carriage house at 5255 Sycamore Avenue, bought the property and had engineer Albert Wheeler complete the shingled neo-Colonial house to suit their own.
