    Mathews acted as his own architect for this 1914 building, filed under permit NB 1722-14 and numbered 66-04 to 66-06 Forest Avenue as well as 677 Grandview Avenue. It has five-bay buff brick fronts on both avenues, with arched amber brick lintels, limestone sills, historic metal fire escapes and a denticulated cornice. Its Forest Avenue storefront was later replaced by masonry infill and new windows.
