    Edward A. Kertscher, president of the cabinetmaking firm Kertscher & Co. at 423 West 126th Street in Manhattan, had this house at Goodridge Avenue and West 250th Street built in 1920-21 to designs by C. Reincken. The Medieval Revival house is of brick laid in Flemish bond, with a one-story wing on the west. A broad roof slopes down over the main entrance, eyebrow dormers sit in the roof, and the chimneys have tapered bases and doubled stacks; the Landmarks Preservation Commission called the house remarkably intact.
