1856 Woodbine Street was built in 1913 for G. X. Mathews, one of eight houses covered by permit NB 1006-13 between Onderdonk and Woodward Avenues. Architect Louis Allmendinger designed the whole group, and Mathews was its original owner as well as its developer.

2010
1856 Woodbine Street's yellow brick front is cleaned and repointed before its 2010 landmarking
Surveyors for the 2010 designation noted that the facade of 1856 Woodbine had been cleaned and repointed. The house kept its round- and segmental-arched amber brick lintels, carved limestone entry and a cornice painted yellow and brown with swags and cartouches, while aluminum windows, a new door with sidelight and transom, and a grey stucco base were later changes.
