This three-story brick row house went up around 1913 under permit NB 2579-1913 for its original owner, the builder Anton Kluepfel, with plans by Louis Berger & Company. Its Renaissance Revival front shares the details of Kluepfel's neighboring buildings: a bracketed stone door hood with fluted pilasters, brick spandrel panels under the first-floor windows, keystoned lintels, and corbelled brick pilasters rising to a bracketed cornice.
