Brooklyn architect Louis Allmendinger designs the southeast side of Palmetto Street
Permits filed later in 1910 show that Louis Allmendinger designed the houses on the southeast side of Palmetto Street, including this one. Born in Brooklyn in 1878 to a German-immigrant brewer and trained at the Cooper Union, he later designed the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord in Brooklyn and, with partner M. Allen Schlendorf, breweries and factories until his death in 1937.

The 2009 survey found this house's one-over-one double-hung wood windows still in place behind storm windows, with vinyl replacements only in two bays of the third floor. It also keeps its historic bluestone stoop, paired wood-and-glass doors with a wood-grain finish and a buff-painted cornice with swags and cartouches.
