G. X. Mathews files plans for 2041 Palmetto Street as his own architect and builder

In May 1910 Mathews filed permits for the flats on this side of Palmetto Street between Fairview and Grandview Avenues, naming himself as owner, architect and builder. The commission's report notes the applications went in shortly after Carl Berger left his post as Superintendent of the Queens Department of Buildings. Later that year the houses across the street were designed by the Brooklyn architect Louis Allmendinger instead.

2041 Palmetto Street keeps its bluestone stoop and iron railing
Read more
When the house was surveyed for landmark designation, its five-bay buff and amber brick front still had an original bluestone stoop with an iron railing and a paneled wooden door at the entrance under the stoop. At the back, a six-bay brick wall carried a metal fire escape, though it had been coated in white stucco. Other changes included vinyl windows, white paint on the first-floor stonework and blacktop in the areaway.
