Built in 1910 under permit NB 3210-10, this corner of Forest Avenue and Palmetto Street was designed by Louis Allmendinger for developer G.X. Mathews, one of a row of four. Its Forest Avenue front has an angled first bay and a rounded corner, with checkerboard brick and limestone string courses. Part of the historic metal storefront cornice still survives behind the modern sign band.
