Lawyer Frederick A. Camp builds a Craftsman house next door to his own Fieldston home
Frederick A. Camp, a lawyer, commissioned architect Julius Gregory to design this Craftsman house, built in 1921-22. Camp had already put up his own residence on the adjoining lot at 4418 Waldo Avenue in 1911-12, and in 1922-23 he added a third house at 4401 Tibbett Avenue. The Landmarks Preservation Commission suggests the two later houses were possibly meant for relatives.

In 1929-30 Julius Gregory, who had designed the house eight years earlier, drew up a one-and-a-half-story garage wing at the rear for the owner of the time, Mathilda Holzinger. The house is known for its complicated outline of offset wings of different heights under flared hipped and gabled roofs, with a solid fieldstone base and hewn timbers. The work was filed as Alteration Application 669 of 1929.
