    Around 1911, builder Ignatz Martin put up this two-story house with a basement under permit NB 5-1911, from designs by Louis Berger & Company. Like its neighbors it has a full-height rounded bay, incised stone lintels and a deep metal cornice with modillions and festoons. The commission's survey found that the door hood had been removed, an aluminum awning hung over the main door, and the stoop replaced with a brick base, stone steps and an iron railing.
