Around 1909 Louis Berger & Company planned this two-family house for Katherina Doenecke under permit NB 824-1909, one of eight in the row from 58-33 to 58-47 69th Avenue. It is faced in orange iron-spot brick with a full-height rounded bay, limestone sills and lintels, and a modillioned cornice with dentils, foliated molding and festoons. The commission recorded its stoop as historic, although the newel posts were removed, the railings and front door replaced, and a metal awning added.
