    This Renaissance Revival two-family house was built in 1909 for Kilian Schurger, from plans by Louis Berger & Company filed as NB 1818-1909. It keeps its original rough-faced brownstone stoop with cast-iron newel posts and wrought-iron railings, though the stoop and water table have been painted. The front has three curved bays under a pressed-metal cornice with egg-and-dart moldings.
