    Designed by Louis Berger & Company for builder Ignatz Martin under a 1911 permit, the house is a two-story brick and stone Renaissance Revival two-family dwelling with a basement. Besides the rounded bay, limestone door hood and festooned cornice shared by the whole row, the landmarks survey noted an original gate at the basement entrance, wooden storm windows on the basement and the original double wood-and-glass front doors with their transom.
