    Assistant principal Olinda Camp builds a Tudor Revival house with a round tower

    Mrs. Olinda Camp, an assistant school principal, commissioned this house from Julius Gregory, one of Fieldston's most prolific architects; it went up in 1923-24 (NB 2897-1923). Built into a steep slope, the house rises high above Waldo Avenue on a massive fieldstone foundation on its south side. Half-timbering, intersecting gables and a circular tower capped by a conical roof give it its Tudor Revival character. The commission found it largely intact.

    “…built in 1923-24 for owner Mrs. Olinda Camp ... Camp was an assistant school principal…”
