We know there's a lot of stressful news in your timeline, so here's a round-up of calming images for a #MuseumMomentofZen.

This sprawling Mediterranean Revival House was built for Elisa T. Galban by architect Dwight James Baum in 1928. Baum had built over forty Mediterranean Revival Houses during his career in New York and Florida. The house is nestled on a terraced lot, bound by stucco-covered perimeter walls and posts flanking its entrance. The house is notably set back from the road, affording it the aesthetic of a Spanish House on a hillside. The house featured clay-tile covered hipped, and gable-on-hip roofs. Its chimneys were hooded, and the entire facade was coated in stucco, with historic battened wood shutters and ornate wrought-iron balconies. Upon entry to the villa-like home, guests would pass through the front door framed with ceramic tile. At the time it was built, the house followed the guidelines of the Fieldston Property Owners Association, who developed the entire neighborhood. The house was sold to Victor House, of the law firm House, Holthusen & Pinkham of Manhattan, in 1936.

The area of Fieldston in the Bronx is a privately owned neighborhood that was largely developed in the 1920s. The area was managed by the Fieldston Property Owners Association. Buyers of land in the area followed strict requirements: first, they were required to buy a minimum of three lots which each averaged $5,000; second, their home was to be designed by an association-approved architect; third, the drafted plans of their design were to be approved by the Architectural Committee of the Fieldston Property Owners Association. Lots were by design varied in terrain in order to discourage "flat uninteresting rows of suburban houses" according to engineer Albert Wheeler, who finalized the plan of the area in 1914. Houses of the area exemplified various styles of American Revival Style Architecture. This story provides a look at some of the picturesque homes in Fieldston designed by architect Dwight J. Baum, many of which have remained almost completely untouched. Baum was chosen by the Property Owners Association for his work in Revival Architecture. Recognizing the opportunity that this presented, Baum moved his office to a lot across the street from the Fieldston sales office after building his own house in Fieldston in 1915.
