Built about 1913 under New Building permit 3515 of 1913, this three-story Renaissance Revival flats building belonged first to Christian Doenecke, a German-born mason who had come to the United States in 1883. Berger's firm faced it in iron-spot brick with brownstone and limestone and gave it a full-height rounded bay, a bracketed door hood carved with stylized leaves, and a metal cornice. It is one of four flats buildings at 59-29 to 59-35 Catalpa Avenue that the Doeneckes built in 1913; Doenecke's wife, Katherina Kaeppel Doenecke, was listed as the owner of many of his properties.
