    57-32 Catalpa Avenue shares the Mathews courtyard layout on a narrower lot

    The six-family tenements Henry Schlachter built here in 1909 used a floor plan much like the Mathews Model Flats, with shared central courtyards to meet requirements for light and air. Schlachter's buildings were narrower, though, at 25 feet wide, and each apartment had four rooms and a hall instead of the five rooms found in the Mathews design.
