    Brewer's son Louis Allmendinger designs 1874 Madison Street for G. X. Mathews

    Architect Louis Allmendinger (1878-1937), born in Brooklyn to a German-immigrant beer brewer and educated at the Cooper Union, drew 149 of the 167 tenements G. X. Mathews built in the district, including the 1911 row at 1870-1896 Madison Street. Working from offices in Bushwick, he also designed Brooklyn's Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord (1916-21). From 1926 he practiced with M. Allen Schlendorf; their firm designed the Liebmann Brewery in Brooklyn and the J. Kurtz & Sons store in Queens.
