Ignatz Martin, the German-born builder of this row, immigrates to the United States
A native of Germany, Ignatz Martin (1864-1921) arrived in America in 1898. By 1900 he was working as a real estate operator and living in Bushwick. The Landmarks Preservation Commission credits him with many houses in Central Ridgewood, among them some of the district's earliest brick rows, and with a 1911 row on 68th Avenue, numbers 59-12 through 59-26. He had moved to Richmond Hill by 1915.

Around 1906 Ignatz Martin, its original owner, built this two-story flats building under new-building permit 812-1906, with Louis Berger & Company as architects. A cast-iron column marked the east side of the ground floor. Upstairs, round-headed windows are framed in rough-cut stone with keystones, set between brick dentil courses and topped by a deep metal cornice with brackets, modillions and a frieze of festoons.

When the Central Ridgewood Historic District was designated in 2014, the commission's survey recorded that the original shopfront had been taken out and filled with brick, pierced by two pairs of metal-framed windows, with a wood-and-glass door at the east end. The brick infill continues around the west side, where one window is fully closed. A two-bay garage with metal overhead doors, not historic, stands at the rear of the lot.
