Filed under new-building permit 3161 of 1912, this three-story-and-basement brick apartment building was designed by Louis Berger & Company for owner Frank Mangialotti. Corbelled brick pilasters frame the front, and two-story angled oriels on brackets project at the second and third floors. The stoop may be original, and the cast-iron railings, newel posts, fence and gate around the areaway survive from the start, though the doors and windows have since been replaced.

Louis Berger, architect of record for thousands of Ridgewood and Bushwick buildings, designs this row
Read more
The Madison Street row came from the firm of Louis Berger, who was born in Rheinpfalz, Germany, studied at Pratt Institute and apprenticed with Carrere & Hastings before opening his own office in Bushwick in 1895. Tenement design and the laws governing it were his specialty, and from 1895 to 1930 his firm was the architect of record for over 5,000 Ridgewood and Bushwick buildings. When Paul Stier and August Bauer formed Bauer & Stier, Inc. in 1910, Berger became its resident architect and secretary-treasurer.
