    This building, on Lot 64 of Queens tax block 3471, is one of eight that G. X. Mathews raised in 1911 on the west side of Putnam Avenue between Onderdonk and Woodward avenues, running from 1851 to 1865. All eight went up under a single permit, NB 1312-11, with Louis Allmendinger as architect. Their ornament draws on both the Renaissance Revival and the Romanesque Revival.
