1911
A rebuilt brick stoop and red-painted base mark the changes to this 1911 flats house
Designed by Louis Allmendinger for G. X. Mathews and finished in 1911, the house keeps its five-bay buff brick front, keystoned limestone lintels, bracketed door hood and a gray-painted cornice with swags and cartouches. Its original stoop has been replaced with one of brick and concrete, the stone base is painted red, and aluminum windows and first-floor grilles have been added.
“…non-historic brick and concrete stoop; stonework at base painted red…”

1913
Mathews advertises his flats as the house that made Ridgewood famous
A 1913 Mathews advertisement promoted flats like this one as the building that had made Ridgewood famous, claiming they were the best located, the best built and had the best sanitary arrangements. The ad credited the company's success to building near existing and planned transit, buying land by the acre and materials straight from manufacturers, and selling directly to homeowners without speculators in between.
