A narrow lot gives 1817 Cornelia Street an older row-house-style plan
Louis Berger and Company designed 1817 Cornelia Street in 1909 for developer Jacob Rodler, along with 1811 and 1815 next door. Because this lot was narrower, Berger could not repeat the courtyard plan of its neighbors and instead used the older row-house-style layout, with one apartment per floor.

In 1914, five years after Louis Berger and Company designed the house for Jacob Rodler, a garage was added at the back of the lot under permit NB 275-14, with Louis Allmendinger as its architect. Out front, the three-bay brick house keeps its cast-iron door hood, bluestone stoop and two-light wood basement windows.
