1913
The rear of 1875 Madison Street can be seen from the elevated M line
G. X. Mathews built 1875 Madison Street in 1913 from R. George Smart's design. Its rear wall can be seen from passing M trains, and its roof from the platform of the Forest Avenue station. That six-bay back wall, stuccoed tan, has a metal fire escape and windows in segmentally arched openings. On the street side, the 2010 designation report noted a metal awning over the entrance, a replacement brick-and-cast-stone stoop and two satellite dishes on the roof.
“Six-bay brick facade; ... metal fire escape ... Also visible from train of elevated “M” line. Roof: Visible from train/platform ... Forest Avenue stop.”
