    Under a 1909 permit, NB 1859-09, G. X. Mathews developed 2040 Gates Avenue as part of a row of eight houses designed by Louis Berger and Company, numbered 2028 to 2042. The Renaissance Revival front of buff brick keeps its brown-painted paired wood-and-glass doors, an under-stoop entry with its original railing, and areaway ironwork with newel posts. The 2009 designation report notes aluminum replacement windows and gray paint on the stonework of the first floor and basement.
