   Built around 1907 under permit NB 506-1907, the house was designed by Louis Berger & Company for original owner Anton Kluepfel. It is a two-story Renaissance Revival row house over a basement, with flat arched lintels, stone bands that act as window sills, red brick spandrel panels, and red and white header brick corbelling beneath a bracketed cornice. Its double-leaf wood-and-glass door with transom may be historic, while the stone hood over the entrance has been taken off.

2. 1907

   Anton Kluepfel's 1907 row starting at 59-34 Madison Street is built on the former Meyerrose farm

   The Central Ridgewood designation report names Anton Kluepfel's 1907 row at 59-34 to 59-48 Madison Street as one of the district's early brick rows, all on what had been the Meyerrose farm. Louis Berger & Company designed it, as it did John Eisenhauer's row nearby and others by Ignatz Martin and Geier & Frey. The firm kept these rows simpler than its 1906 work for Martin, with lintels and stone bands that are flat, smooth and flush.

   “…include 59-22 to 59-30 Madison Street (1907; John Eisenhauer, builder), 59-34 to 59-48 Madison Street (1907; Anton Kluepfel, builder)…”

3. 1907

   Builder Anton Kluepfel, who arrived from Germany in 1886, puts up 59-34 Madison Street

   Anton Kluepfel, born in 1870 in Steinfeld, Germany, immigrated as a teenager in 1886 and worked as a baker and a sailor. By 1900 he was a builder, at times in partnership with his brother George, and he produced several rows in what is now the Central Ridgewood Historic District. This house belongs to the row he built in 1907 from 59-32 to 59-48 Madison Street; in 1910 he lived at the far end of it, at today's 59-48.
