    Builder Ignatz Martin was the first owner of this two-family house, filed as NB 4-1911 and designed by Louis Berger & Company in the Renaissance Revival style. Its brick front curves out in a full-height rounded bay, with incised stone lintels, rough stone courses linking the windows, and a molded stone door hood resting on brackets. A deep metal cornice with modillions and festoons survives at the top, while the stoop was later rebuilt in brick and stone with iron railings.
