I was browsing ebay again it led me to the name McKelvey and I remembered this forum issue.  I found an article about a different home owned by Mrs. Mary McKelvey of Spuyten Duyvil in the March 1926 Architectural Forum, along with Miss Cora A Week of Riverdale that I was able to id from Ancestry as living at 4680 Waldo Ave in Fieldston.

The Riverdale–Spuyten Duyvil–Kingsbridge Memorial Bell Tower  aka (The Riverdale Monument) in 2006 –  I do know it was moved 7oo feet South from its original location during the construction of the Henry Hudson Parkway.

I do have a photograph of what house was replaced by the row of townhouses on West 232nd street in 2007 as it was being taken down.

I do not have a photograph of what house was replaced by the row of townhouses on West 232nd street, but we can expect more of the same.
