Permit NB 1005-13, filed in 1913, covered a row of seven buildings on the west side of Madison Street between Seneca and Onderdonk Avenues, numbered 1819 through 1831. This one stands on Lot 43 of Queens Block 3459. G. X. Mathews was the original owner and developer, and Allmendinger mixed Renaissance Revival and Romanesque Revival ornament on the facades.

Landmarks report describes 1819 Madison Street's yellow-brick front and its exposed south wall
The 2010 designation report describes a four-bay facade of pale yellow brick on an amber-brick base, with the first bay projecting forward and a cornice trimmed with swags and cartouches. By then the house had vinyl windows, a new wood-and-glass door and a replacement brick-and-cast-stone stoop. Its grey-stuccoed south side wall faces a concrete side yard, and the roof can be seen from the M train's Seneca Avenue platform.
