    Louis Berger & Company designed this two-family house, one of the 16 that Kilian Schurger had built under new building application 1023 of 1908 between 59-05 and 59-35. Its two-story front of orange iron-spot brick with brownstone and limestone trim rises in a full-height rounded bay to a cornice with dentils, egg-and-dart molding and festoons. The landmarks report recorded the original stoop with its historic gate below, bluestone steps down to the understoop opening, and a historic metal railing in the areaway.
