2. 1908

   Louis Berger & Company gives the house a full-height curved bay and front porch

   Designed with a curved bay rising the full height of the facade and a porch across the front, the house has bands of rough-faced and decorative brick, rough-faced stone lintels and a cornice with egg-and-dart moldings, consoles and swags. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found that the porch had been replaced except for its sheet-metal-covered roof, with metal columns and railings, and that the stoop railings and front door were also replacements.

3. 1910

   Charles Strubel, whose firm made much of the area's ironwork, owns and lives in the house

   In 1910 the house belonged to Charles Strubel, who also lived here. His company, Charles Strubel & Sons, had been founded in 1901 and was based on Myrtle Avenue. It was one of two firms that made most of the ironwork, from stoop newel posts and railings to areaway fences and gates, on the houses of what became the Central Ridgewood Historic District.
