    Lawyer Frederick A. Camp, who had built his own house on the adjacent lot at 4418 Waldo Avenue in 1911-12, had this one built in 1922-23 to a design by Julius Gregory (NB 2097-1922). It followed 4411 Tibbett Avenue, which Gregory had designed for him in 1921-22, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission suggests Camp may have built both for family members. The square stucco block sits below street level on its steep lot, with a fieldstone garage wing on the west. An unusual pyramidal roof with flared, bracketed eaves and a tall stucco chimney tie it to the Medieval Revival style.
