Architect Albert E. Wilson designed it in 1949 and it was completed in 1951, with an office wing added in 1953.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be an unusual and intact example of Colonial Revival residential architecture in Westchester County. It scales down the formal central plan of the architect's earlier Georgian Revival work for the firm Peabody, Wilson and Brown, adding modern features such as stripped details, picture windows, a one-story plan and an attached garage. It is also one of Wilson's last commissions and remains virtually intact inside and out.","narrative":"Albert E. Wilson, a Mamaroneck architect, designed this modest brick house at 617 Brook Street as a retirement home for himself and his wife, Emily. Built in 1949-51, with an office wing added in 1953, it is a one-story, U-shaped dwelling with a low gable roof of gray slate. A garage pavilion sits to the east and the office to the west. The brick was turned, lightly washed and laid in a random pattern with tinted mortar, giving a rustic, mottled look. Wilson had been a partner in Peabody, Wilson and Brown, a firm known for large estates, mostly on Long Island. Here he reduced its formal central plan to a small modern house with an integrated living and dining room, a bay window facing the rear view, and a fireplace flanked by bookcases. He also kept old stone walls from the Tompkins Farm. The house survives largely as built, and it is valued as an intact example of Colonial Revival design in Westchester County.","period_of_significance":"1949-1953","architect_builder":"Wilson, Albert E.","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as virtually intact on the exterior and interior; the former office wing is now used as a small apartment, and the house remains a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.70098-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/07000330.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000330/5e4ae24fbc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000330/5e4ae24fbc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"jim.henderson","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Albert_E-_and_Emily_Wilson_House_2012-09_jeh.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">jim.henderson</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Albert_E-_and_Emily_Wilson_House_2012-09_jeh.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75323308","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_E._and_Emily_Wilson_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4710083"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/westchester-county/wilson-albert-e-and-emily-house-07000330/"}
