    Permit NB 2132-14 covered this building, with eight-bay fronts on both Forest and Grandview avenues, designed and built by G. X. Mathews in a blend of Renaissance and Romanesque Revival. It is part of the 66-02 to 66-08 Forest Avenue block, the last buildings put up in what is now the Ridgewood North Historic District. Both fronts are buff brick over an amber brick base, with bluestone quoins and arched amber brick lintels. Masonry infill and new windows have since replaced the ground-floor storefronts on both streets.
