    This two-family Renaissance Revival house was built for Kilian Schurger in 1908 under new building application 2458, with Louis Berger & Company as architect. Two stories over a basement, it has two curved bays, a brownstone water table, scrolled limestone window lintels and a pressed-metal cornice trimmed with swags and egg-and-dart moldings. The landmarks survey found the original front door still in place, while the stoop and windows had been replaced and satellite dishes added on the roof.
