1. 1854

   Bremen-born Joachim Meyerrose buys farmland that this row is later built on

   This row stands on what was the Meyerrose farm. In 1854 Joachim Meyerrose, a Bremen native who had come to Newtown in 1844 and worked on the Debevoise farm, bought nine acres north of Putnam Avenue from the Debevoise family. He and his sons farmed the land into the late 1800s, with his son Joseph, elected Queens County Sheriff in 1903, carrying on after his father retired. Around 1900 the family started selling pieces of the farm to local builders, who covered them with rows of brick houses.

2. 1907

   This brick row house rises in 1907 under the same permit as its neighbors

   Ignatz Martin built this two-story house over a basement around 1907 under new-building permit 2305-1907, using a Renaissance Revival design by Louis Berger & Company. The brick front has a bracketed stone hood at the entrance, rough-cut stone bands with keystone lintels, and a richly detailed bracketed cornice. The stone stoop is historic, but its railings, fence and gate are modern replacements, and security grilles now cover the basement windows.
