    Under New Building permit 1378 of 1909, Paul Stier put up this three-story Renaissance Revival flats building, designed by Louis Berger & Company in orange iron-spot brick with a full-height rounded bay. The district report cites 59-02 to 59-38 Catalpa Avenue as an example of the third and most widespread house type Stier built with Berger. More than 200 of these, with pronounced bays, went up between 1908 and 1912, and Berger varied the brick colors and ornament from row to row.
