In 1914 G. X. Mathews filed three permits (NB 2469-14 through NB 2471-14) for 1881, 1883 and 1885 Madison Street, also known as 768 and 770 Woodward Avenue, naming himself as owner and architect rather than Louis Allmendinger, who drew most of his district buildings. These were the last flats his company built in the district. The railroad right-of-way left the corner lots irregular, so the buildings received unusual floor plans.
