Construction began on January 25, 1893 and ended that August 31 for Charles Ruff, who commissioned the architects Schneider & Herter. Number 54 went up together with its neighbors at 52 and 56, each budgeted at roughly $22,000. All three were meant to hold 21 families apiece, and they share terra-cotta ornament and a round-arched doorway portico in the Queen Anne manner.
