    This two-story house over a basement was built in 1908 for Kilian Schurger under new building application 2458 of that year, from plans by Louis Berger & Company. Its brick front is divided into three bays, two of them curved, above a rough-faced brownstone stoop and water table, with scrolled limestone lintels and a pressed-metal cornice of swags, dentils and egg-and-dart molding. The landmarks report found both the stoop and the main door original, though the stoop had been painted and fitted with newer iron railings.
