This house is part of the row at 59-34 to 59-48 Madison Street that builder Anton Kluepfel put up in 1907 on land that had been the Meyerrose family's farm, with Louis Berger & Company as architects. The Landmarks Preservation Commission groups it with the district's early brick rows, which it describes as similar to, but plainer than, the houses Berger had drawn for builder Ignatz Martin in 1906.

This Kluepfel row house keeps its original bracketed stone hood over the front door
Read more
The two-story-and-basement brick house still has its historic bracketed stone hood above the entrance and possibly its original wood-and-glass double doors with a transom. Flat arched lintels sit over the windows, stone bands double as sills, and red and white brick corbelling runs beneath a dentiled, bracketed cornice. The stoop and windows have been replaced, and a metal fire escape was added at the second floor.
