Plans were filed in 1913 under permit NB 1007-13 for seven G. X. Mathews tenements on the east side of Madison Street between Seneca and Onderdonk avenues, No. 1828 among them. Louis Allmendinger was the architect. His design gives the house a five-bay base under four bays of pale yellow brick, amber-brick arched lintels, a carved limestone doorway with a pedimented hood, an under-stoop entry and a cornice decorated with swags and cartouches.

Allen Schlendorf designed the J. Kurtz & Sons store in Queens.
