Louis Berger & Company designed this three-story flats building over a basement for builder August Bauer in 1908, permit NB 2907-1908. Its four bays include three curved ones, set above a brownstone water table. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed it, the house still had its original front door and its original cast-iron posts with a wrought-iron fence and gate, though somewhat modified.
