This is one of six 1911 houses Louis Allmendinger designed for G. X. Mathews at this end of Woodbine Street. Its historic paired wood-and-glass doors (now painted white), bluestone stoop with iron railing, historic railing at the basement entry and the historic areaway railing and newel posts all survive, although some detail has been removed and the windows are vinyl.

1915
The city exhibits Mathews Model Flats like this one at the Panama-Pacific fair
As proof of the improved design, the New York City Tenement House Department put the Mathews Model Flats on display at San Francisco's Panama-Pacific Fair in 1915. The Landmarks Preservation Commission counts the Ridgewood North buildings, this house among them, as among the first that G. X. Mathews built with his new floor plan, and the earliest fully developed Mathews flats in Ridgewood.
