Katherina Doenecke has 58-05 built in tan brick as part of a six-house Berger row
Recorded under the same 1909 permit (NB 3213) as its neighbors, the two-family house was designed by Louis Berger & Company for owner Katherina Doenecke. Rising two stories over a basement, it is faced in tan iron-spot brick trimmed with brownstone and limestone, with a rounded bay running the full height of the front and its original modillioned metal cornice.

When the house was surveyed for the Central Ridgewood Historic District, researchers found that its back had been extended toward Catalpa Avenue some time after 1914, by an owner and architect they could not identify. The addition has its own brick stoop with a wrought-iron railing and a Georgian-style doorway with a fanlight and columns carrying a pointed pediment, with keystoned brick lintels over the first-story windows.
