    This two-family house was built about 1909 for its original owner, Kilian Schurger, under permit NB 1819-1909, to designs by Louis Berger & Company, as one of nine alike from 58-07 to 58-23 70th Avenue. The orange iron-spot brick facade swells into a rounded bay rising both stories and is capped by a modillioned cornice with festoons. It still has its historic iron stoop railings and newel posts and its iron areaway fence, gate posts and gate.
