It was built by Albin Wagner from plans by Louis Berger and Co., Ridgewood's most prolific architectural firm, and features elaborate brickwork. It retains an outstanding level of integrity, with pressed metal cornices, original doors and ironwork largely intact.","narrative":"Seven identical two-story row houses line Cooper Avenue between 64th Place and 64th Lane in Ridgewood, Queens. Built in 1915 by German-born Albin Wagner from plans by Louis Berger and Co., the group covers roughly half an acre, and each building holds one apartment per floor. The houses are faced in yellow brick laid in stretcher bond, with burnt orange brick panels, band courses, dentils and arches. Brownstone stoops, double glass-paneled doors with transoms, cast-stone sills, segmental and round window arches, and pressed metal entablatures with dentils add to the detail. The row was recognized as one of the most ornate and best-preserved groups of working-class housing in Ridgewood. Its brickwork resembles that of the nearby Mathews Flats, designed four years earlier, and may have inspired it. Alterations are limited mainly to replacement doors and windows and metal entrance awnings, and the original cornices and ironwork survive.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Albin Wagner (builder); Louis Berger and Co.
