In 1913 builder G. X. Mathews filed new-building permit NB 1006-13 for eight buildings numbered 1852 through 1866 Woodbine Street, on the east side of the block between Onderdonk and Woodward Avenues. Louis Allmendinger was the architect, and the row mixes Renaissance and Romanesque Revival ornament. Number 1866 is the highest-numbered building in the group, and all eight were built for the same developer at the same time.

Mathews Company put up in what became the Ridgewood South Historic District. Working from offices in Bushwick, he later designed Brooklyn's Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord (1916-21) and, with partner M.

When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described the building for the 2010 district designation, the pale yellow brick front on an amber brick base still had its carved limestone entry with a pedimented door hood, its historic paired wood-and-glass doors and its bluestone stoop and railing. Concrete and cast stone had been laid over the stoop, aluminum windows filled the openings, and a security camera hung on the facade.
