German immigrant developer Ignatz Martin builds 60-25 68th Avenue
Ignatz Martin (1864-1921) built this two-family house in 1906 to plans by Louis Berger & Company. Born in Germany, he arrived in the United States in 1898 and was in business as a real estate operator living in Bushwick by 1900. He built many houses in what became the Central Ridgewood Historic District, among them the 1911 houses at 59-12 to 59-26 on this same avenue, and he was living in Richmond Hill by 1915.
