This house begins a row of six, numbered 2017 to 2031 Woodbine Street, filed under permit NB 640-11 and built in 1911 in the Renaissance Revival style for developer G. X. Mathews. Louis Allmendinger was the architect. It still has its bluestone stoop, though the cornice has lost its detailing and the windows and doors have been replaced.

Brewer's son Louis Allmendinger designs the northwest side of Woodbine Street
The Landmarks Preservation Commission credits Louis Allmendinger with the flats on the northwest side of Woodbine Street, including this one. Born in Brooklyn in 1878 to a German-immigrant beer brewer and trained at the Cooper Union, he kept offices in Bushwick. His later work included Brooklyn's Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration (1916-21) and, with partner M. Allen Schlendorf, the Liebmann Brewery and the German Masonic Temple.
