This slate-roofed neo-Colonial house on Waldo Avenue went up sometime around 1933 to 1938, while the neighborhood was filling with picturesque houses built to the Fieldston Property Owners Association's design rules. In 1978-79 its owner, Raymond Chung, put a large dormer on the back of the roof. When the commission designated the Fieldston Historic District in 2006, it still judged the house largely intact, noting its low, crossing gable roofs.
“In 1978-79, owner Raymond Chung added a large roof dormer at the rear, but the house remains largely intact.”
