Anton Kluepfel's 1907 Madison Street row house is fronted by an angled projecting bay
Anton Kluepfel built this house in 1907, under permit 1781 of that year, as part of a row on Madison Street designed by Louis Berger & Company. The house has an angled projecting bay, along with red brick spandrel panels and red-and-white header-brick corbelling beneath a bracketed cornice. Its stoop, door, transom and windows have since been replaced, and the stone hood over the entrance has been removed.

Builder Anton Kluepfel lives in the house he built at what was then 2346 Madison Street
Anton Kluepfel, born in Steinfeld, Germany, in 1870, came to America as a teenager in 1886 and worked as a baker and a sailor before becoming a builder by 1900. He put up several rows in what is now the Central Ridgewood Historic District, at times working with George Kluepfel. By 1910 he owned and lived in this house, then numbered 2346 Madison Street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission suggests nearby Kleupfel Court may carry the family's name, misspelled.
