    1881 Cornelia Street, on tax lot 44 of Queens block 3472, dates from 1911, when G. X. Mathews developed it with eight neighbors from 1869 to 1895 Cornelia Street, the last of them also numbered 818 Woodward Avenue. Louis Allmendinger was the architect, and the Renaissance Revival group shares a single building permit, NB 1316-11. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey found the house still had its historic paired wood-and-glass doors, its bluestone stoop and railing, and wood basement windows with grilles.
