Kilian Schurger was the first owner of this two-family house, the lowest-numbered of the 16 he built from 59-05 to 59-35 under one building application, alongside the flats building next door at 59-03. The houses at 59-01 and 59-37 went up as part of the same row under their own building applications. Like its neighbors it has a rounded bay rising the full height of an orange iron-spot brick front, and at some point the word "OFFICE" was painted on the basement beside the opening under the stoop.
