This wood flats building went up around 1911 for owner Ignatz Martin to designs by Louis Berger & Company, one of four from 59-19 to 59-25 Catalpa Avenue. Sometime before 1940 its front was covered in asphalt siding printed to look like brick. The building still keeps its window hoods, its bracketed cornice with egg-and-dart molding and festoons, and a carved wood door hood with sunburst brackets.
