    Kilian Schurger had this two-family house built in 1909, filed as NB 1818-1909 with Louis Berger & Company as architect. The Renaissance Revival facade has three curved bays, a projecting entrance lintel on foliated brackets and a pressed-metal cornice with scrolled modillions that is still original. Over the years the stoop, water table and first-story sills were painted, and the front areaway came to be enclosed by later masonry posts and walls with a wrought-iron gate.
