Permits for 2025 Palmetto Street name G.X. Mathews as owner and architect
The permits for the row on the northwest side of Palmetto Street, between Fairview and Grandview avenues, were filed in May 1910 and list G.X. Mathews as owner and architect. The commission's report notes that the applications came shortly after Carl Berger resigned as head of the Queens Department of Buildings. The row was the next phase of the company's development in what is now the Ridgewood North Historic District.

The designation report describes a five-bay front of buff brick over an amber brick base, with arched amber brick lintels, checkerboard bands of brick and limestone, and a carved limestone entrance under a bracketed, pedimented hood. The historic paired wood-and-glass doors and the cornice of swags and cartouches are both painted brown. Later changes include aluminum windows, a base painted gray, and a replacement stoop of brick and cast stone.
