    Fred Dehler and J. Maltry were the first owners of this two-story house with a basement, filed under new-building permit 2612 in 1907 and designed and built by Walter B. Wills. Its Renaissance Revival front of brick and stone is four bays wide, three of them angled out from the wall. A rough-faced brownstone stoop leads to an entrance capped by a bracketed lintel with dentils and an incised frieze, and the original pressed-metal cornice still carries its swags and scrolled modillions.
