    Landmarks survey finds 59-18 Madison Street refaced in faux blond brick, its ornament stripped

    When the Central Ridgewood Historic District was designated, the commission could not determine when 59-18 Madison Street was built, who designed it or who first owned it. Its profile describes a two-story semi-attached brick house in a stripped Queen Anne style whose front had been resurfaced with imitation blond brick and whose first-floor windows had been reconfigured. The wood pediment over the door, the window surrounds and lintels and the bracketed cornice were gone, though historic cast-iron fencing and newel posts survived, along with a pair of wood-and-glass entrance doors that may be original.
