424 Warwick Road was George Maher’s own home that he designed when he was 29 years of age. The home blends various architectural styles, including Victorian and Arts and Crafts. The motif in 424 Warwick Road is the diamond pattern, found in the individual windowpanes, in the front porch window, and in the roof shingles. In 1979, the home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
George Maher (1864-1926) and his wife, Elizabeth Brooks Maher (1866-1963), were very active members of the community. Their only child, Philip Brooks Maher (1894-1981), was also an architect. He designed a few homes in Kenilworth, as well as the Stuart Memorial Building in 1972. 424 Warwick Road remained in the Maher family until the 1980s.
