It’s supposed to have a tile roof that imitates a thatched roof. Anyone know where it is?

Thanks for posting those photos and the instructions. I’ll give it another try…
Here’s the mystery Julius Gregory/McKelvey house in Spuyten Duyvil (I hope)

Tom, there’s another Julius Gregory-designed home still standing at 721 West 231st Street, also for Mary McKelvey, same “English cottage” style. And he apparently designed a third one for her that I have yet to identify; it was overlooking the Hudson somewhere in Spuyten Duyvil. I’m happy to email a photo to anyone who thinks they might know it. Sorry, but I haven’t figured out yet how to post images here.

And thanks, Nick, for posting the map and clarification.

Thanks, all—this is great information!
I’ve wondered about that private boat landing, too. There are notices in the Real Estate Record regarding transactions for underwater properties, but I haven’t looked into them yet. The photo helps in figuring out how they might have accessed the landing. No doubt I’ll discover more if and when I find those deed records!

I believe the Mary McKelvey house designed by Julius Gregory is 3117 Palisade Ave., at the southwest corner of Palisade and West 232nd.
