Brooklyn architect Walter B. Wills designs this house as part of a row on 70th Avenue
Walter B. Wills, born in New York in 1872 to an American father and a German mother, designed the row at 59-22 to 59-30 70th Avenue in 1907. He had begun as a draftsman in his teens and was practicing in Brooklyn by his early twenties, designing mostly row houses and tenements as well as movie theaters and apartment houses. His work also includes the first phase of construction of St. George's Syrian Catholic Church, now a designated city landmark.
