This house is the highest-numbered of six two-family houses, 59-18 through 59-28 68th Road, that Louis Berger & Company designed for builder Ignatz Martin under permit NB 2-1911. The two-story facade of iron-spot brick has a rounded bay, a classical door hood with Greek key ornament, and a modillioned cornice with egg-and-dart molding and festoons. Later owners removed the stoop newel posts, replaced its railings, and added a metal entrance awning and a rooftop television antenna, though the front door is historic.
