    This house dates from about 1908, when developer Kilian Schurger filed application 1023-1908 for the row from 59-05 to 59-35 69th Avenue, designed by Louis Berger & Company. Two stories over a basement, it is faced in orange iron-spot brick with brownstone and limestone trim. Its historic iron stoop railings, newel posts and areaway fence and gate remain, while the door frame has been replaced with one holding doorbells and a light.
