    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.
