    1878 Madison Street belongs to the eight-building group from 1870 to 1896 Madison Street that Louis Allmendinger designed for G. X. Mathews in 1911. Its pale yellow brick front has a carved limestone doorway with a pedimented hood and a cream-painted cornice with swags and cartouches. The 2010 designation report found the front cleaned and repointed, the base stonework painted brown and a metal awning at the entrance; the rear, barely visible, is stuccoed off-white with a metal fire escape.
