    The three-story flats building at 59-20 Catalpa Avenue was filed under new-building permit 1378 of 1909, the same permit that covers its neighbors on this block front, for owner Paul Stier. Louis Berger & Company designed it in the Renaissance Revival style, in beige iron-spot brick with a full-height rounded bay. The historic front door and the original egg-and-dart cornice remain, while the iron stoop railings, light fixture and a conduit up the front are later additions.
