The William B. Tubby Jr. Residence

The William Bunker Tubby Jr. residence designed by his father William Bunker Tubby Sr. c. 1918 in Greenwich, Connecticut. This has been a bit of a mystery; Tubby Jr. is not mentioned in his father's 1944 obituary which also lists Tubby Sr. as residing on North Fifth Street in Greenwich which doesn't seem to exist today. Anyone have any ideas?
