A mid-19th-century gabled frame house is moved to Kleupfel Court to clear land for apartments
1 Kleupfel Court is one of a pair of steep-gabled wood houses from the mid-1800s that were relocated in 1913 from next door at 66-85 and 66-91 60th Place; those two lots then received brick apartment houses. The Landmarks Preservation Commission called the two the most interesting early frame houses in the Central Ridgewood Historic District, though both have since been altered.

Its shed-roofed porch and enclosed vestibule were gone, its siding, windows and roof shingles had been replaced, and elevated train tracks on metal posts ran through the alley beside it.
“Shed roof porch with enclosed vestibule removed... Elevated metal train tracks and foundations posts in alley next to building…”
