The house steps out with a projecting last bay and a bracketed door hood
This five-bay house has a final bay that projects from the facade, a carved limestone door surround with bracketed hood and a limestone cornice over the first floor. In 2009 it kept its paired wood-and-glass doors and its areaway railing, gate and newel posts, though its stoop had been rebuilt in brick and concrete.

An advertisement calls Mathews flats such as this one the house that has made Ridgewood famous
A 1913 advertisement for Mathews Model Flats claimed they were the best located and best built houses with the best sanitary arrangements. It credited the company's success to building near existing and planned transit, buying land by the acre, buying materials in bulk straight from manufacturers and selling directly to homeowners rather than through speculators.
