    Built in 1911 for Jacob Erbach, this two-story Renaissance Revival two-family house shares its building permit, NB 3860-1911, with its neighbor at 59-15. Louis Berger & Company designed it with four bays, three of them curved, limestone sills running in bands across the bays and an incised lintel over the entrance resting on foliated brackets. Its original cornice remains, while the stoop has been replaced.
