Built in 1906 for owner William Haug to plans by Louis Berger and Company (permit NB 2849-06), 1815 Woodbine Street is a three-bay Renaissance Revival building of amber brick with carved limestone lintels, a bracketed cast-iron hood over the door, a historic brownstone stoop and a modillioned cornice with foliate ornament. A two-story, one-bay addition stands on its north side, with a metal roll gate at its ground floor.

William Haug, the plasterer who had the house built, still runs William Haug and Sons in the late 1920s
The Landmarks Preservation Commission found that William Haug was not a major Ridgewood builder, though his name turns up on several speculative projects. A tradesman, he kept his own business, William Haug and Sons, going until the late 1920s; the commission traced him through the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses and a Brooklyn Daily Eagle advertisement of December 27, 1927.
“He worked as a tradesman, operating his own business, William Haug and Sons, into the late 1920s.”
