   Built in 1913 under new-building permit NB 1008-13, 1821 Woodbine Street belongs to a row running from 1819 to 1835 Woodbine Street that developer G. X. Mathews built to plans by Louis Allmendinger. Its front has a five-bay base with four bays above, in pale yellow brick over an amber brick base, with arched brick lintels, a carved limestone entry under a pedimented hood, and a white-painted cornice with swags and cartouches. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2010 survey found the historic areaway railing and newel posts still in place, though missing some details, but a newer tile-and-cast-stone stoop.

   Brooklyn-born architect Louis Allmendinger draws most of the Mathews flats, including this Woodbine Street row

   Louis Allmendinger (1878-1937), the Brooklyn-born son of a German-immigrant brewer and a Cooper Union graduate, was the architect of 149 of the 167 buildings the G. X. Mathews Company erected in what became the Ridgewood South Historic District. His work also included the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord in Brooklyn (1916-21). From 1926 until his death he practiced with M. Allen Schlendorf, designing breweries and commercial buildings such as the Former J. Kurtz & Sons Store in Queens.

   “…most (149 of 167) buildings constructed in the Ridgewood South Historic District by the G. X. Mathews Company were designed by architect Louis Allmendinger…”
