J. George Peters was the first owner of this semi-attached house, two stories over a basement, built in 1921 to plans by Henry C. Brucker. Its tan textured brick and brownstone mix Renaissance Revival and Arts and Crafts touches: a full-height angled bay, lintels carved with stylized leaves, wrought-iron grilles on the door and transom, and a crenelated parapet. A garage at 58-02 Catalpa Avenue shares the lot.

1921
Architect Henry C. Brucker, a Ridgewood resident for 65 years, draws 58-01 69th Avenue
Henry C. Brucker (1888-1980), born in New York to parents of German descent, designed this house in 1921, a year after his row at 60-14 to 60-24 Madison Street. Before starting his own practice he worked for the Brooklyn architect Francis J. Berlenbach, known for Catholic churches in Brooklyn and Queens. Brucker lived in Ridgewood for at least 65 years and planned houses, stores and factories mainly in Queens and Brooklyn.
