Mathews company filed permit NB 1311-11 in 1911 for eight buildings at 1870 to 1884 Putnam Avenue, on lots 18 through 32 of Queens block 3472, with the corner house also numbered 804 Woodward Avenue. Louis Allmendinger was the architect, and like their neighbors across the street the eight were designed in a blend of Renaissance and Romanesque Revival styles.

Department of Buildings permits credit Louis Allmendinger with 149 of the 167 buildings Mathews put up in the district. Born in Brooklyn in 1878 to a German-immigrant brewer, he studied at the Cooper Union and kept offices in Bushwick. He later designed Brooklyn's Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord (1916-21) and, with partner M. Allen Schlendorf, the J. Kurtz & Sons store in Queens, practicing until his death in 1937.
