In 1909 the firm of Louis Berger and Company drew plans for developer Jacob Rodler's row at 1811, 1815 and 1817 Cornelia Street. For this building and 1815, Berger repeated the facade and floor plan he had drawn that year for Henry Schlachter's six-family flats on Catalpa Avenue: 25-foot-wide buildings with four rooms plus a hall per apartment, lit by shared central courtyards. The third building, 1817, sat on a narrower lot and got a different layout.

Jacob Rodler, the developer of this building, was born in Germany and started out in Queens as a framer. Soon after 1900 he began building multi-family houses, first of wood and later of masonry, and became a prominent Ridgewood developer. Records also spell his name Roedler or Raedler. In the 1920s he moved his company to Hempstead on Long Island.
