1914
57-14 Catalpa Avenue becomes one of the last homes built in the Ridgewood South district
Built in 1914 to a design by Louis Allmendinger, 57-14 Catalpa Avenue and its neighbor at 57-16 were among the last residential buildings erected in what is now the Ridgewood South Historic District. They follow the basic plan of the district's other model tenements but wear a pared-down Renaissance Revival front. The builder was Cornelius Werberig, a German-born framer who put up more than 50 speculative houses around Ridgewood.
“Among the last residential buildings in the district were 57-14 and 57-16 Catalpa Avenue, constructed in 1914.”
