59-16 Madison Street closes the three-house row that Joseph Meyerrose built in 1913, one of three small rows he commissioned from Louis Berger & Company after building his own brick house on Forest Avenue in 1906 to replace the family farmhouse. He followed it with rows at 66-63 to 66-69 Forest Avenue and 59-13 to 59-19 Putnam Avenue in 1914.
