1876 Madison Street goes up as one of G. X. Mathews's "Model Flats"
G. X. Mathews built 1876 Madison Street in 1911 as one of his "Mathews Model Flats," new-law tenements with larger rooms and better sanitary fixtures than older ones. He used wider lots, big air shafts and private bathrooms, and allowed only two families on each floor, while holding down costs so families of modest means could afford the apartments. Between 1909 and 1912 he built and sold over 300 Ridgewood tenements, and the city's Tenement House Department exhibited the design at San Francisco's Panama-Pacific fair in 1915.
