    The permit for 2038 Gates Avenue, NB 1859-09, was filed in 1909, naming G. X. Mathews as developer and Louis Berger and Company as architect for a row of eight houses from 2028 to 2042. Its Renaissance Revival front of buff brick has rough-faced brick trim, limestone string courses and a modillioned cornice with swags. The 2009 landmark designation report notes that the facade had been cleaned and repointed and that its historic areaway ironwork survived.
