This was one of the original houses put up in 1906 by the developers of Schenley Farms. The architects were Billquist & Lee. Billquist is Thorsten E. Billquist, the architect who designed the Allegheny Observatory. Lee is Edward B. Lee, who left Billquist in 1910¹ to found his own practice and flourished as a designer of theaters and clubs, and as architect of record for the City-County Building (though Lee later said he had only executed drawings from designs by Henry Hornbostel).
