    Louis Berger & Company gives 59-16 Catalpa Avenue a beige-brick front with a full-height rounded bay

    Paul Stier built this Renaissance Revival flats building in 1909 to plans by Louis Berger & Company, facing it in beige iron-spot brick with brownstone, limestone and rough-faced brick. A rounded bay runs the full three stories, a classical hood on leaf-carved brackets covers the entrance, and the modillioned cornice carries egg-and-dart molding and festoons. Landmarks surveyors found the cornice original, the front door historic and the basement windows possibly historic.
