    Doenecke built this flats house around 1913 under New Building application 3448-1913, using plans by Louis Berger & Company: three stories and a basement with a full-height rounded bay and a cornice of festoons and dentils. Its east side is designed as well, with stone sills and lintels like the front and the cornice carried around from it. Sometime between 1914 and 1936 a one-story brick garage was added on the lot, facing 60th Street and faced in brick laid in a checkerboard pattern; the landmarks report treats it as historic.
