    This house begins a row running from 60-23 to 60-31 68th Avenue that builder Ignatz Martin put up in 1906, soon after new building laws stopped wood construction in this part of Ridgewood. Louis Berger & Company drew the plans. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's report places the row on land that had been the Hulst and Meyerrose farms and counts it among the earliest masonry rows in the Central Ridgewood Historic District.

    “…built in 1906, just after the building laws prohibiting wood construction in this area came into effect, include the two-story tenements at 60-23 to 60-31 68th Avenue…”
